Utah plays their first game at the Delta Center on Monday night, so they probably held Iginla out to make his debut at home.
Funnily, it's their only preseason game at the Delta Center and was originally scheduled as a Kings' neutral site preseason game (which they have held for a couple of years in SLC) before the Coyotes move was finalized. Their other "home" preseason games are the game they played on Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa, and on October 5, they play the Avs at the Maverik Center (which was the main hockey arena at the 2002 Olympics -- where Tij's dad won a gold medal a few years before he was born).
