  • No game date has been released for the matchup at the University of Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium.
  • Commissioner Gary Bettman said Utah earned the marquee showcase through a swift and successful franchise launch.
  • The Mammoth are in year three after Ryan and Ashley Smith purchased the team and relocated it from Arizona.
