Utah Continues Road Trek on Tuesday
The Utah Mammoth resumes a three-game road trek on Tuesday. Utah had a hot start to the season that had some wondering if they are true contenders. The Mammoth have been one of the worst teams in the NHL in the past month. They have won six games in the last month. Utah has been playing a bit better in the past week. They answered a home defeat against the Panthers last week with two straight wins. Utah issued a 5-3 home win against the Kraken on Saturday and opened the road trip with a 5-4 shootout road win against the Penguins on Sunday. The Mammoth stand just out of a playoff spot.
Clayton Keller has been a threat most of the season. The 27-year-old center has been mediocre in the past few weeks, amassing just seven points in December. Keller did not register a point on Sunday and is second on the squad with 28 points on the season. He had two points in the home win against the Bruins in October. Nick Schmaltz has issued five points in his last five games. The 29-year-old center is having a strong season. He now leads the team with 30 points on the year.

The Bruins are in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division entering Monday’s action, just one point out of the top spot.
Morgan Geekie is having a fantastic season. The 27-year-old center had a breakout season last year and has been even better this season, amassing 22 goals along with 13 assists for 35 points.
