Mammoth Beat Kraken 5-3 on Late Power Play and Stout Penalty Kill

A successful coach’s challenge punctuated Utah’s special‑teams edge as Seattle copes with Jared McCann’s three‑week absence.

Overview

  • Dylan Guenther put Utah ahead with a third‑period power‑play strike with 7:05 left, and the Mammoth snapped a three‑game slide in Salt Lake City.
  • Utah killed all four Seattle power plays, including 1:40 of 5‑on‑3 time, and halted its recent man‑advantage drought with the decisive goal.
  • Nick Schmaltz led the Mammoth with a goal and two assists, while Kevin Stenlund added three helpers to pace Utah’s offense.
  • Kailer Yamamoto’s second‑period tally stood after Utah won a coach’s challenge that overturned an initial goaltender‑interference call.
  • Karel Vejmelka made 32 saves for Utah and Philipp Grubauer stopped 26 for Seattle, which got two goals from Mason Marchment and has dropped seven of eight; the Kraken return home next to face Buffalo, while Utah heads on the road Sunday.
