Flames Beat Mammoth 4-1 in Calgary as Utah's Wild-Card Push Stalls

Utah still must collect about three points in its final two games to clinch the West's top wild-card.

Overview

  • Calgary defeated Utah 4-1 on Sunday in Calgary, continuing a 7-0-1 surge at the Saddledome.
  • Brayden Pachal logged three points with a goal and two assists, while Matt Coronato, Connor Zary and Mikael Backlund also scored and Lawson Crouse had Utah’s lone goal.
  • Dustin Wolf stopped 28 shots for the Flames and Vitek Vanecek made 19 saves for Utah after a puck misplay behind his net set up the opener.
  • Utah remains at 90 points with a three-point lead on the Kings, who have a game in hand, and needs roughly three points to lock the No. 1 Western wild-card slot.
  • The setback followed Saturday’s 4-1 loss to Carolina, snapped Dylan Guenther’s and Mikhail Sergachev’s seven-game point streaks, and sends Utah home to host Winnipeg on Tuesday.
