Matchup Breakdown
Utah Mammoth Outlook
Utah dropped back-to-back games to Dallas and St. Louis, scoring just three goals combined. Logan Cooley leads with 14 goals and 23 points but is questionable after a lower-body injury. Dylan Guenther and Clayton Keller provide offensive support, while Karel Vejmelka (2.74 GAA, .889 SV%) anchors the net. The Mammoth rank 10th in goals and shots, but turnovers remain a concern.
San Jose Sharks Outlook
San Jose fell 4-3 to Vegas despite Will Smith’s two goals and Macklin Celebrini’s milestone assist. Celebrini leads with 37 points, ranking among league leaders. The Sharks rank second in blocks (428) and sixth in power-play goals (18), showing defensive grit and special teams strength. Yaroslav Askarov likely starts in net (2.96 GAA, .910 SV%). Playing at home, San Jose looks to capitalize on their 8-4-3 home record.
