Mikhail Sergachev Ties Mammoth Record With Four Assists

Utah Mammoth defenseman Mikhail Sergachev made a major impact offensively on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, finishing with a team record-matching four assists. Two of his helpers came with the man advantage. Earlier this week, Sergachev erupted for three first-period assists against Washington, so he has now set up seven goals over the last two games. He's the first Utah player with as many as three assists in back-to-back games. Sergachev's world-class playmaking has helped him to his second consecutive 50-point season. He has totaled 10 goals and 43 assists over 70 games. Additionally, he has registered 118 blocks, making Sergachev one of the top defensemen in fantasy hockey.

Barrett Hayton Out Week-to-Week

Utah Mammoth center Barrett Hayton (upper body) is week-to-week, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News reports. Mammoth head coach Andre Tourigny doesn't expect Hayton to play for a bit after he sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's loss to Edmonton. Hayton has tallied 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 67 outings this season. His absence allowed Daniil But to re-enter the lineup on Thursday night against Washington, but he didn't make an impact in 9:08 of ice time.

Barrett Hayton Sustains Upper-Body Injury Tuesday

Utah Mammoth center Barrett Hayton suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. He was involved in a collision with teammate Jack McBain and ended his night after logging only 17 seconds of ice time. Hayton's absence resulted in McBain and Logan Cooley taking on extra work. The two could enjoy increased ice time again on Thursday against Washington if Hayton isn't healthy enough to play. Hayton has totaled 10 goals and 25 points in 67 games this season.

Lawson Crouse Picks Up Three Points in Overtime Win

Utah Mammoth winger Lawson Crouse made a big impact on Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings, finishing a 4-3 overtime win with two goals and an assist. The 28-year-old already had two goals midway through the first period. He completed his second three-point effort of the season with an assist on Nick Schmaltz's 25th goal of the campaign. Schmaltz then went on to win the game for Utah in overtime. Crouse is skating with Schmaltz and Clayton Keller on the first line, which has boosted his fantasy stock. He has collected five points (three goals, two assists) over the last four games. It has been a strong bounce-back season for Crouse, who finished last term with 18 points. Currently, he is sitting on 37 points (19 goals, 18 assists) across 70 games.

Nate Schmidt Exits Early Due to Illness

Utah Mammoth defenseman Nate Schmidt left Sunday's 4-3 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings early due to illness. The veteran had 10 shifts in the first frame but only five in the second and didn't come out for the third period. Schmidt has bagged a modest 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) in 71 games, but he is tied with Colorado's Cale Makar for sixth among defensemen with a plus-32 rating. On the Utah roster, Schmidt sits third with 88 blocks and sixth with 75 hits. He will be a big miss for the Mammoth on Tuesday night against Edmonton if he can't shake off his illness.

Nick Schmaltz Inks Eight-Year Extension With Mammoth

Utah Mammoth forward Nick Schmaltz committed his long-term future to the team, signing an eight-year, $64 million contract extension on Wednesday. He is currently on a seven-year, $40.95 million deal, which will expire this offseason. Without an extension, Schmaltz would have been a very attractive free agency target for teams. He's enjoyed a great spell with his current franchise, posting a new career high with 63 points last season. A year later, Schmaltz is well on track for another career high, sitting on 59 points (24 goals, 35 assists) through 65 games. He has already established his new single-season record with 24 goals.

Mikhail Sergachev a Game-Time Call Saturday

Utah Mammoth defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) is a game-time call for Saturday's matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. After sustaining a lower-body injury, Sergachev missed his first game of the season on Thursday versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Sergachev plays a crucial role on Utah's blue line, recording 42 points (10 goals, 32 assists), 128 shots, 100 blocks, and a plus-three rating in 61 outings this season. If Sergachev isn't healthy enough to return on Saturday, Dmitri Simashev is poised to remain in the lineup. Meanwhile, Sean Durzi will continue to fill in for him on the first power-play unit.

Vitek Vanecek Stifles the Flyers

Utah Mammoth goaltender Vitek Vanecek stopped all 16 shots he faced in a 3-0 shutout win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. Vanecek was drawing just his 14th start of the season, but he turned in an elite performance and earned his second victory in a row. He did not face many shots, but he stopped all of them and helped the Mammoth earn a big two points in the standings. Utah plays a back-to-back on March 9 and 10, so he will most likely suit up in one of those games.

Mammoth Acquire MacKenzie Weegar

Defenseman MacKenzie Weegar was traded by the Calgary Flames to the Utah Mammoth for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 draft. Weegar played three and a half seasons in Calgary. He has recorded 21 points (three goals, 18 assists), 125 shots, 143 blocks, and 130 hits in 60 outings this term. Weegar also carries a league-worst minus-35 rating, but that should improve now that he joined a much more competitive squad. With better players around him, Weegar is also well-positioned to increase his offensive output over the final stretch of the season. Due to immigration issues, Weegar isn't expected to make his Mammoth debut until next week.

Logan Cooley on Track to Return Wednesday

Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley (lower body) could return to the lineup on Wednesday versus the Colorado Avalanche, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News reports. Cooley was on the second line during the morning skate and has been activated from Injured Reserve. The talented centerman has been on the shelf since Dec. 5 with a lower-body injury. Cooley performed well before his injury, recording 14 goals and 23 points in 29 games. After missing 28 games, Cooley may need some time to regain his rhythm, but he is expected to play a key role in Utah's playoff push.

Logan Cooley Sheds Non-Contact Jersey

Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley (lower body) is practicing in a regular jersey, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports. With the Olympic tournament nearing its conclusion, NHL teams have started practicing again, and Cooley has been a full participant in the Mammoth's sessions. This bodes well for his availability once the season resumes next week. Utah will restart the action on Feb. 25 against the Colorado Avalanche. Cooley has been out since early December with a lower-body injury. Before he was hurt, the 21-year-old enjoyed a great start to the campaign, posting 14 goals and 23 points in 29 games.

Nick Schmaltz Leads Mammoth to Victory Monday

Utah Mammoth forward Nick Schmaltz scored his third career hat trick and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 triumph over the Vancouver Canucks. Schmaltz became Utah's second player this season with multiple hat tricks, producing his team's fifth hat trick in total. Only Edmonton (6) has had more hat tricks this season. Schmaltz has been in good goal-scoring form all season and now needs just two more markers for a new career-high. He has lit the lamp 22 times in 56 outings, adding 29 assists. This season, Schmaltz is also poised to break his scoring record of 63 points from last year.

Dylan Guenther Misses Second Consecutive Game

Utah Mammoth winger Dylan Guenther (lower body) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The talented forward exited the lineup at the start of the week due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. It's possible that Guenther, who leads Utah with 24 goals and has 45 points in 52 games, will be able to end his absence on Saturday against the Dallas Stars. Logan Cooley (lower body) is also nearing his return after rejoining practice this week. In the meantime, Barrett Hayton will continue to center the second line, while Kailer Yamamoto will be on third-line duty against Carolina.

Sean Durzi Hurt on Monday Night

Utah Mammoth defenseman Sean Durzi (undisclosed) missed the final few minutes of Monday's 2-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News reports. Durzi has battled several health issues in recent seasons and could now miss more time. Utah will return to the ice on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. Durzi has registered 15 points, 54 shots, and 55 blocks across 31 outings this season. Olli Maatta will step into the lineup if Durzi isn't ready to play on Tuesday night.

Lawson Crouse Available Against Lightning

Utah Mammoth winger Lawson Crouse (illness) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After a pair of big performances, Crouse was forced to sit out Saturday's matchup against the Nashville Predators due to illness. Liam O'Brien is set to make way for him in the lineup. Crouse has earned a spot on the first line, amassing two goals and two assists in his last two appearances. He's having a good bounce-back year, sitting on 26 points (13 goals, 13 assists) through 50 outings. 10 of Crouse's 26 points have come in January.

Clayton Keller Saves Mammoth From Loss Wednesday Night

Utah Mammoth winger Clayton Keller led his team with three points in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. After tallying an assist in the second period, Keller produced some late-game heroics. 19:25 into the third period, Keller scored the latest game-tying goal in franchise history, and he added a second goal with 2:01 played in overtime. Keller had scored just once in 11 appearances before coming up clutch for the Mammoth on Wednesday night. Despite his recent lack of puck luck, Keller has remained a consistent offensive contributor for his team. Wednesday's game marked his sixth multi-point performance of the month. After 50 games, Keller leads Utah with 34 assists and 49 points.

Karel Vejmelka Picks Up Win No. 20

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka saved 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues, improving to 20-11-2 for the season. Impressively, he became the first goalie this season to reach 20 wins. His recent form has been a major factor in Vejmelka reaching that milestone first, as he has gone 8-2-0 since Dec. 12. In 2026, Vejmelka has allowed only 11 goals across five starts. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.63 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage for the season, picking up one shutout. Vejmelka's fantasy stock is on the rise and could improve further in upcoming games against Eastern Conference strugglers Columbus and Toronto.

Clayton Keller Dishes Out Three Assists Friday

Utah Mammoth winger Clayton Keller recorded three assists during Friday's 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues. Nick Schmaltz benefited twice from his playmaking, while Lawson Crouse also scored off Keller's feed. This was Keller's second multi-assist game in a row and already his third such performance of the month. He has started 2026 strong, recording eight points (one goal, seven assists) over five games. Compared to last year, Keller has taken a step back, but he could still average a point per game. In 45 outings, Keller has notched 13 goals and 28 assists.

Alexander Kerfoot Sustains Upper-Body Injury Friday

Utah Mammoth forward Alexander Kerfoot (upper body) was hurt during Friday's 4-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth. He sustained an upper-body injury in the first period, logging only 2:11 of ice time. This injury blow is very unfortunate for Kerfoot, as it's been less than a month since his season debut. He missed the start of the campaign due to abdominal surgery, entering the lineup on Dec. 19. Kerfoot has posted one goal in nine games, averaging 10:20 of ice time on the fourth line. If Kerfoot can't play on Sunday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Liam O'Brien or Kailer Yamamoto will take over his place.
