Mammoth Beat Penguins in Overtime as Cooley Caps Last‑Second Hat Trick

Utah's comeback victory spotlights its scoring depth and forces Pittsburgh to manage short‑term health and roster questions.

Overview

  • Logan Cooley batted in a tying goal with one second left and finished with a hat trick as Mikhail Sergachev scored 3:27 into overtime to give the Mammoth a 4-3 win in Pittsburgh.
  • Penguins center Ben Kindel returned to practice after a vasovagal episode and is being evaluated day to day for a possible lineup return.
  • Pittsburgh made several roster moves before the game, activating Justin Brazeau and sending him to Wilkes‑Barre on a conditioning loan, placing Elmer Soderblom on injured reserve, and reassigning Avery Hayes and Chase Pietila to the AHL.
  • Utah goalie Sebastian Cossa stopped 31 shots while Pittsburgh's Arturs Silovs made 30 saves, a result that comes as the Mammoth balance a top power play with a league‑low team save percentage and a struggling penalty kill.
  • The result closes the regular‑season series between the teams and could intensify Utah's earlier trade interest in a veteran goalie if the Mammoth's netminding numbers do not improve.
