Overview

  • Utah secured the win with a Dylan Guenther one-timer for the late go-ahead goal followed by empty-netters from J.J. Peterka and Lawson Crouse.
  • Mason Marchment scored twice for Seattle after moving to the top line in Jared McCann’s absence.
  • Philipp Grubauer started for the Kraken and Karel Vejmelka was in net for the Mammoth after a scoreless first period by both goalies.
  • The result halted Utah’s three-game losing streak and prevented a sweep of its three-game homestand.
  • Seattle confirmed earlier that McCann will miss about three weeks with a lower-body injury, and the Kraken return home Sunday to face Buffalo while Utah visits Detroit.
