SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Connor Bedard scored off a rebound off a post at 3:57 of overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night.

Bedard, Tyler Bertuzzi and Frank Nazar each had a goal and an assist and Spencer Knight stopped 29 shots to help the Blackhawks sweep the season series in their third meeting with Utah in 12 days.

In the 3-on-3 overtime, Alex Vlasic blasted a shot off the post, Bedard controlled the rebound and snapped it into the net. The young star then pounded on the glass in celebration.

Dylan Geunther and JJ Peterka scored for Utah, and Karel Vejmelka made 20 saves. The Mammoth hold the first wild card in the Western Conference - six points ahead of San Jose.

Bertuzzi tied it at 1 on a 4-on-3 power play 2:18 into the third period. He leads the NHL with 10 road power-play goals.

Nazar gave Chicago a 2-1 lead at 9:17 to extend his points streak to a career-best five games. Peterka tied it with 6:15 remaining.

Guenther opened the scoring with his 31st at 5:47 of the second.

Nick Schmaltz signed an eight-year, $64 million contract with the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday. It begins next season and has an average annual value of $8 million.

The 30-year-old forward ranks second on the Mammoth with 59 points (24 goals, 35 assists) in 65 games. He is plus-21 while averaging 19:42 of ice time.

Schmaltz could have become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

"We are thrilled that Nick chose Utah and wants to remain with the team for the next eight years," general manager Bill Armstrong said. "Nick is a tremendous player and person who is very deserving of this contract. We expect him to continue producing on the ice and leading our young, skilled forwards for years to come. This is another great day for Mammoth fans and our organization."

A first-round pick (No. 20) by the Chicago Blackhawks at the 2014 NHL Draft, Schmaltz has 482 points (166 goals, 316 assists) in 653 regular-season games with Chicago, the Arizona Coyotes and Utah. He does not have a point in four Stanley Cup Playoff games. 

The Mammoth (34-26-5) hold the first wild card into the playoffs from the Western Conference. They host the Blackhawks on Thursday (9 p.m. ET; Utah16, CHSN).

"There's a lot of momentum building around our team and extending Nick Schmaltz is an important part of continuing that," team governor Ryan Smith said. "Utah is becoming a true destination in the NHL, and Nick's long-term commitment reflects the excitement around what we're building here.

"We're thrilled about the role he'll continue to play on the ice and in our community."

Schmaltz is the latest core piece the Mammoth have locked up long-term; forward Logan Cooley signed an eight-year, $80 million contract ($10 million AAV) on Oct. 29 that begins next season.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Kirill Kaprizov scored his 37th goal of the season, Matt Boldy notched his 36th, and Filip Gustavsson earned his fourth shutout of the season as the Minnesota Wild defeated the Utah Mammoth 5-0 on Tuesday night.

Bobby Brink scored his first goal since the Wild acquired him from the Flyers on Friday. Brink, a Minnesota native, put his new team up 3-0 early in the third period.

Danila Yurov and Ryan Hartman also scored in the third.

Gustavsson stopped all 25 shots he faced. Utah's Karel Vejmelka made 25 saves in the loss.

Quinn Hughes extended his point streak with an assist, giving him one goal and five assists in his last five games.

The Mammoth thought they had the first goal after Kailer Yamamoto found the back of the net. It was waved off for goalie interference after Barrett Hayton's stick hit Gustavsson in the helmet.

After failing to score on a 5-on3, Kaprizov shot wide of the net, which bounced off the end boards. While falling forward, he fired from one knee to put the Wild up 1-0 with 5:50 remaining in the opening period.

Mammoth: Host Chicago on Thursday.

Wild: Host Philadelphia on Thursday.

CHICAGO (AP) Frank Nazar scored a power-play goal with 2:24 left in overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth on Monday night.

Andrew Mangiapane scored his first goal as a Blackhawk since being acquired in a trade from Edmonton last week, and Andre Burakovsky lifted the puck on his stick lacrosse style and flicked it into the net to tie the game at 2-2 late in the second period. It was his first goal since Jan. 7, a span of 19 games.

Drew Commesso, making his third start of the season and first since Jan. 10 when he had his first career shutout in a 3-0 win over Nashville, made 22 saves. Connor Bedard had two assists for Chicago, including one on Nazar's winner.

Barrett Hayton and Dylan Guenther scored for Utah, which is battling for a wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference and had won the first three games of a five-game road trip. Vitek Vanecek had 23 saves.

Guenther has now scored a team-leading 30 goals this season, the first time in his career he has reached that mark. He has scored in three of four games on the road trip, with six points in those contests (3 goals, 3 assists).

Chicago, which had lost three in a row including a 4-3 setback to Dallas on Sunday night, has now won all three meetings with Utah this season, with the teams' fourth and final game of the season scheduled for Thursday night.

Chicago played without Spencer Knight (illness) and Oliver Moore, who left Sunday's game in first period.

Mammoth: Visit the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.

Blackhawks: Visit the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Logan Cooley scored his second goal of the game at 2:08 of overtime and the Utah Mammoth overcame Columbus' tying third-period burst to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on Saturday night for their third straight victory.

Clayton Keller broke free on the right side in the 3-on-3 overtime, slipping a cross-ice feed through traffic to Cooley.

Utah holds the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Mammoth ended Columbus' three-game winning streak and left the Blue Jackets two points out of the East's final wild card.

Michael Carcone had a goal and an assist for Utah. Kevin Stenlund and Dylan Guenther also scored, and Alexander Kerfoot had two assists. Karel Vejmelka made 27 saves.

Damon Severson, Mathieu Olivier, Adam Fantilli and Mason Marchment each had a goal and an assist for Columbus. Kirill Marchenko had two assists to extend his points streak to four games, and Charlie Coyle added two assists to push his streak to five games. Elvis Merzlikins made 18 saves.

Stenlund broke a 2-2 tie three minutes into the third, and Cooley made it 4-2 on a breakaway 1:54 later.

Fantilli and Marchment scored 30 apart to tie it, sparking a trio of fights that resulted in four major penalties. Fantilli scored with 6:22 to go, and Marchment pulled Columbus event with 5:22 remaining.

Mammoth: At Chicago on Monday night.

Blue Jackets: Host Los Angeles on Monday night.

{coyotes} Flames, Mammoth in talks over Weegar; Iginla not involved

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Could Mackenzie Weegar be headed to Salt Lake City?

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger confirms the Calgary Flames are in trade talks with the Utah Mammoth over the veteran defenceman.

Dreger cautions that the deal is not done and also notes that Mammoth prospect Tij Iginla, son of Flames icon Jarome Iginla, is not part of any discussions.

Weegar, 32, has three goals and 20 points in 60 games with the Flames this season while averaging 23:07 of ice time.

He was acquired from the Florida Panthers, along with forwards Cole Schwindt, and Jonathan Huberdeau, and a draft pick in July of 2022 in exchange for star winger Matthew Tkachuk.

The 6-foot, right-shot defenceman is in the third season of an eight-year, $50 million contract that carries an annual cap hit of $6.25 million. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2030-31 campaign.

Drafted 206th overall by the Panthers in 2013, Weegar has 62 goals and 271 points in 610 career games split between the Panthers and Flames.

The Ottawa native represented Canada twice at the World Hockey Championships, in 2023 and 2025. He was named the tournament's best defenceman in 2023 after recording three goals and 11 points en route to a gold-medal finish.

A 19-year-old centre from Kelowna, BC, Iginla was the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. He has 36 goals and 35 assists this season for his hometown Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League.

{coyotes} Mammoth hold off Capitals 3-2, dropping Washington 4 points back of a playoff spot

--

WASHINGTON (AP) JJ Peterka scored in the second period on a bizarre bounce, and the Utah Mammoth beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Dylan Guenther and Mikhail Sergachev scored for the Mammoth, who took an early 2-0 lead and held off the Capitals in a matchup of teams near the playoff cutoff lines. Utah entered the night tied with Edmonton for the top wild card in the Western Conference.

Pierre-Luc Dubois and Ryan Leonard scored for Washington, which fell to four points behind Boston for the second wild card in the East. The Bruins also have three more games left than the Caps.

The Capitals have been hoping to add a forward before Friday's trade deadline, and with Aliaksei Protas out for personal reasons Tuesday, they struggled to apply consistent pressure in the Utah zone until they were down two in the third. It's not clear if Washington's position in the standings - and losses to Montreal and the Mammoth in its last two games - will alter the team's approach to the deadline.

Guenther scored his 28th goal of the season in the first period, then Sergachev made it 2-0 on the power play. Dubois scored for the Capitals in the final minute of the first period.

Peterka's 21st goal put the Mammoth up 3-1. With Utah on the power play, his shot from near the slot bounced off the post and off goalie Logan Thompson. When Thompson swept his glove hand back behind him, he knocked the puck into the net.

Washington's power play - a sore spot for much of this season - produced both its goals in this game, but after Leonard pulled the Capitals within one with 13:29 remaining, they were unable to tie it.

Mammoth: At Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Capitals: At Boston on Saturday.
