18 points and 15 rebounds as Utah cruised to a 92-60 victory over Prairie View
A&M on Saturday, but all eyes were on the two newcomers.The Utes blew the
game wide open early with a 16-2 run to take a 25-9 lead and never looked back.
The Panthers were simply overmatched by Utahs size inside and athleticism on the
perimeter.Zachary Hamilton led Prairie View (2-10) with 26 points.The most
significant story of the game was the presence of power forward Collette and
point guard Barefield. The two transferred to Utah last year, but just became
eligible to play after the fall semester ended and Saturday was their first
game. All of the required paperwork and final grades didnt become official until
Friday.Collette started, but both are expected to be with the No. 1 unit as the
season progresses.A little bit rusty, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. No
matter what you do, you cant get in that great of game condition until the
popcorn starts popping.Two dynamic players. ... Dave, our own guys were bouncing
off him at times. Hes a pretty solid rock inside. ... Sedrick gives you a little
dynamic look. ... Captain Obvious, I would say they were pretty darn excited.The
Utes (7-2) received an immediate boost in the paint from the 6-foot-10 Collette,
who showed toughness and good touch offensively. The Utah State transfer dealt
with foul trouble, but finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.Its been long
enough, said Collette, who was named a captain. Ive been through this before. I
was a little anxious, a little nervous. But once the game starts, it goes away.
Its game-time.Im the oldest on the team. They call me gramps, theyre my
grandkids. ... Ive been through and know what its like. So Ive got a little bit
to offer, I think.Barefield came in off the bench and provided a much-needed
additional shooter despite air-balling his first shot. The SMU transfer knocked
down three 3-pointers in the first half and ended with 18 points.It was
definitely worth the wait, Barefield said. By the way Dave was practicing, (you
could tell) he was ready. I was a little anxious. Kind of overthinking things,
so I kind of wasnt being myself in practice.I kind of compare it to
roller-coaster going up. But once the ball goes up, its just basketball.BIG

-- Barely 2 minutes after narrowly missing a goal that could have put the game
away, Andrew Copp came right back and scored an even bigger one.Copp got the
tiebreaking goal with 4:45 left, Bryan Little scored his third in three games
and the Winnipeg Jets edged the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 on Sunday night.Copp beat
Scott Darling stick side with a shot from the right circle that slipped just
inside the left post and gave Winnipeg its second consecutive victory and fourth
in five games.Chicagos Artemi Panarin scored with 6:54 remaining to tie it at 1,
moments after Copp hit the crossbar.I was lucky to redeem myself, he said. It
felt really good to respond in that manner.Panarin spoiled Connor Hellebuycks
bid for a second shutout against Chicago in less than a month when he completed
a give-and-go with Patrick Kane and beat Hellebuyck on the glove side.Winnipeg
coach Paul Maurice saluted his team for playing a patient game but not sitting
back. He also thanked a higher power when Copp scored after hitting metal.Youre
worried about the hockey gods at this point, Maurice said. Once he scored that,
I thought we had a fairly good chance of hanging on, because it seemed fairly
justified.Hellebuyck finished with 25 saves and outdueled Darling, who started
his second straight game for the Blackhawks in place of No. 1 goalie Corey
Crawford. Darling made 30 saves, including three on breakaways.Hellebuyck
preserved the lead at the end with six saves during a final Chicago flurry. That
included a point-blank stop on Marian Hossa with seconds left after Winnipegs
Jacob Trouba got a double-minor for high-sticking with 2:49 remaining and the
Blackhawks pulled Darling for an extra skater.Probably the most tired Ive ever
been playing hockey, Hellebuyck said. I was in desperation mode. Youve got to
use your mind at that point.Hellebuyck made 27 saves in the Jets 4-0 win over
the Blackhawks on Nov. 15 in Winnipeg.Littles power-play goal with 43.4 seconds
left in the second period was his fourth point in four games since missing 23
with a lower-body injjury.

emergency appendectomy in Philadelphia on Saturday and is expected to miss two
to three weeks. Lars Johansson, recalled by Chicago earlier Sunday from Rockford
of the American Hockey League, was Darlings backup.Blackhawks captain Jonathan
Toews sat out his sixth straight game with an upper-body injury that coach Joel
Quenneville said is not getting better. Quenneville said Toews skated briefly
Sunday morning, but he plans to keep him off the ice for a few days and get a
better assessment in the middle of the week or so.Chicagos offense is sputtering
without Toews. The team has totaled two goals while losing back-to-back
games.You lose a key guy who does so much for you, Quenneville said. We didnt
generate much tonight. It was just one of those games where they came in our
building ... and shut us down.Darling was solid, just not good enough.Were
definitely not generating the chance we want to be, he said. Getting inside,
making it tough on the other goalies. So weve got to figure out a way to do
that.Game notes Winnipegs leading scorer, center Mark Scheifele, missed his
second consecutive game with a lower-body injury. Scheifele has 13 goals and 13
assists in 26 games. ... Crawford returned with the Blackhawks following their
