Overview
- Mikhail Sergachev scored on the power play, Nick Schmaltz tipped in the second, Kevin Stenlund added a late backhander, and John Marino sealed it with a short-handed empty-netter.
- Karel Vejmelka made 31 saves two nights after a shutout in Anaheim, outdueling Kevin Lankinen, who stopped 14 of 17.
- Utah went 1-for-2 on the power play and Vancouver went 0-for-3; a Mammoth tally was waved off for goalie interference in the third period.
- Vancouver outshot Utah 32-18 and led in scoring chances and expected goals, but the loss pushed its skid to four games and kept it last in the NHL.
- Utah regained the Western Conference’s first wild-card spot, while Logan Cooley exited late with a left-leg injury; Conor Garland returned for Vancouver and Lankinen got the start, with Nils Höglander targeting a return next week.
