It’s the final week of the regular season and Utah has two more home games before shifting gears to the postseason! Let’s take a look at the major storylines surrounding the team.
Main Storylines – Utah
- Utah played its final road game of the regular season on Sunday. The team fell to the Calgary Flames, 4-1. The Mammoth had a 21-17-3 record away from the Delta Center this season.
- The Mammoth have two games left in the regular season and both are at home against divisional opponents. Utah hosts the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday and the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.
- As of Monday, the Mammoth are in the first wild card spot with 90 points. The LA Kings have the second wild card spot with 87 points and a game in hand. The tight playoff race continues through the final games of the season.
- Captain Clayton Keller extended his career-long and franchise-record assist streak to eight games (4G, 13A) in Sunday’s game. It’s also his longest point streak with Utah. Since Mar. 3, Keller has tallied a league-high 19 primary assists and zero secondary assists through 20 games played (per Mammoth PR).
- Last week, forward Dylan Guenther scored his 40 goal of the season. It’s the first time he’s hit this benchmark in his career and Guenther became the first player in Utah Mammoth history to reach this point.
