Overview
- The Mammoth travel to TD Garden with local broadcast on NESN and radio coverage on WBZ-FM as Boston looks to end a recent scoring slump.
- Utah has opened the season 3-1 with a high-scoring attack and a reported 61.5% power-play rate that has greatly influenced its early results.
- Nick Schmaltz has scored in each of Utah’s first four games and leads the team with five goals, giving the Mammoth a clear offensive focal point.
- Boston has produced just two goals across consecutive losses and is 0-for-10 on the power play, prompting coach Marco Sturm to reunite Pavel Zacha, David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie and to give Frederic Brunet a top-unit power-play role.
- Mikhail Sergachev left a recent game after being struck in the head by a puck and his status remains unresolved while former Bruin Andrew Peeke is contributing on Utah’s blue line during a multi-game road swing.
