Utah Mammoth forward Logan Cooley left Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues with an apparent knee injury.

The incident occurred early in the third period when Blues forward Alexey Toropchenko collided with Cooley with a knee-on-knee hit.

Cooley, 21, remained on the ice for a significant amount of time and needed assistance going to the bench and into the locker room.

Toropchenko was handed a five-minute kneeing major for the hit and a game misconduct.

Cooley skated 11:01 before the injury, recording two shots and left with the Blues leading 1-0.

The 6-foot centre has 14 goals and 23 points in 25 games this season, including five goals and seven points in his previous three games.

Utah entered Saturday's action in fourth place in the Central Division with a 12-10-3 record and were tied with the San Jose Sharks and Edmonton Oilers for the final wild-card position in the Western Conference.

Toropchenko was given a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for kneeing.

Cooley, who is in his third NHL season, has 14 goals through 26 games. He had the NHL's first four-goal game of the season Tuesday night against Vegas.

Karel Vejmelka stopped 18 shots.

Holloway scored with 1:50 left in the second period for a 1-0 lead. Philip Broberg dropped a pass back to Holloway in the left circle and he beat Vejmelka with a wrist shot to the top, right corner.

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

DALLAS (AP) Wyatt Johnston scored 28 seconds into a two-minute, five-on-three power play late in the second period to lift the Dallas Stars to a 4-3 win over the Utah Mammoth on Friday night.

Roope Hintz matched a career high by scoring in his fourth straight game, and Jamie Benn and Jason Robertson scored 1:02 apart midway through the second period for the Stars, who have won three straight and are 9-1-1 in their last 11 games.

Jake Oettinger made 27 saves for his 11th win, tied for second place in the NHL.

Logan Cooley, Kevin Rooney and Jack McBain scored for the Mammoth, who began a season-long six-game road trip. Vitek Vanecek stopped 24 of 28 shots he faced.

Johnston scored his NHL-best 10th power-play goal after Kevin Stenlund and Ian Cole were both called for tripping during a delayed penalty.

The Mammoth took a 2-0 lead with Cooley scoring 57 seconds into the game and Rooney, called up from Tucson of the AHL on Thursday, adding his first this season midway through the first period.

Hintz pulled Dallas within 2-1 late in the opening period and only 19 seconds into a double-minor penalty on Sean Durzi for high-sticking Jamie Benn, one of the few NHL players who doesn't wear a visor.

Miro Heiskanen, playing his 500th NHL game, and Mikko Rantanen each had two assists for Dallas.

John Marino had two assists for Utah.

Rooney filled in for Barrett Hayton, who missed his first game since early October, with an Illness.

Cooley has scored the Mammoth's three fastest goals this season, the other two at 0:56 and 2:21.

Mammoth captain Clayton Keller played in the wake of his father's unexpected death the night before.

{coyotes} Keller to play for Mammoth day after death of father

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

Clayton Keller will play for the Utah Mammoth against the Dallas Stars on Friday (8 p.m. ET; Utah16, Victory+), one day after his father, Bryan, unexpectedly died.

"Clayton wants to play, wants to be with the team," Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny said Friday. "We want to say our condolences to all the family, Clayton, his mom, his brother. It's a tough time for the family. We'll support him by any way we can. ... Clayton will play tonight, but all the organization is with him with all our heart. He's been nothing but an unbelievable teammate and his family is unbelievable. We're all with him."

Keller, a forward who was named captain of the Mammoth prior to last season, has 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) in 24 games this season.

"There's nothing really you can say or do in that moment but be there," Tourigny said. "Big thing for us is to be there and support him. Loyalty is when people need you to be there, it's not when you pick and choose. In this tough time, we want to make sure we show up for [Keller] and his family."

Keller had NHL career highs in assists (60) and points (90) in 81 games last season. The No. 7 pick by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2016 NHL Draft, Keller has 529 points (204 goals, 325 assists) in 625 regular-season games with the Mammoth and Arizona Coyotes and seven points (four goals, three assists) in nine Stanley Cup Playoff games.

"Put our heart out there, do everything we can to show our love to him and his family," Tourigny said. "I think that's what a team is, what a family is. You need to be there for each other, so we'll be there for him."

The Mammoth (12-9-3) enter Friday fourth in the Central Division.

{coyotes} Report: Three Canadian teams among NHL's top five most valuable

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

The Edmonton Oilers' back-to-back runs to the Stanley Cup Final have had a positive effect on their overall valuation, according to a new report.

According to figures published by CNBC on Tuesday, the Oilers are now valued at $3.1 billion, an increase of 17 per cent from 2024.

That increase has vaulted the Oilers into the top five among all NHL franchises, moving them ahead of the Boston Bruins ($3.05 billion).

The top four teams remain unchanged, with the Toronto Maple Leafs leading the way at $4.3 billion. Rogers Communications, which owns Sportsnet, became the majority owner of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment earlier this year.

The New York Rangers are second on CNBC's rankings with a valuation of $3.8 billion, followed by the Montreal Canadiens ($3.4 billion) and Los Angeles Kings ($3.15 billion).

Speaking on CNBC after the report was published, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman cautioned that the numbers are "undervalued" and "as much art as it is science."

But Bettman added that "the trending is very positive."

Bettman went on to say that NHL teams have more cost certainty than teams in other sports because the hard salary-cap system helps teams have more predictable payrolls and stay in the playoff hunt for more of the season. Entering play Wednesday, 11 teams not in a playoff spot were within four points of the final wild-card position in their conference.

"What you see on the ice, the competitive balance, the entertainment value, is extraordinary, and that's because we have a system that enables all of our teams to compete," Bettman said.

The CNBC panel also pressed Bettman on expansion. While the commissioner wouldn't tip his hand to any markets the league might consider expanding to, he said that any expansion fee for a new club would be no less than $2 billion.

CNBC's complete rankings of NHL teams by value:

1. Toronto Maple Leafs, $4.3 billion
2. New York Rangers, $3.8 billion
3. Montreal Canadiens, $3.4 billion
4. Los Angeles Kings $3.15 billion
5. Edmonton Oilers $3.1 billion
6. Boston Bruins, $3.05 billion
7. Chicago Blackhawks, $2.75 billion
8. Philadelphia Flyers, $2.6 billion
9. Washington Capitals, $2.5 billion
10. Detroit Red Wings, $2.47 billion
11. New Jersey Devils, $2.45 billion
12. Vancouver Canucks, $2.2 billion
13. Vegas Golden Knights, $2.1 billion
14. Dallas Stars, $2.05 billion
15. Carolina Hurricanes, $2 billion
16. Tampa Bay Lightning, $1.95 billion
17. Calgary Flames, $1.93 billion
18. Minnesota Wild, $1.9 billion
19. Colorado Avalanche, $1.85 billion
20. New York Islanders, $1.82 billion
21. Seattle Kraken, $1.77 billion
22. Pittsburgh Penguins, $1.76 billion
23. Florida Panthers, $1.75 billion
24. Nashville Predators, $1.65 billion
25. St. Louis Blues, $1.62 billion
26. Anaheim Ducks, $1.61 billion
27. Utah Mammoth, $1.6 billion
28. San Jose Sharks, $1.55 billion
29. Winnipeg Jets, $1.46 billion
30. Ottawa Senators, $1.44 billion
31. Buffalo Sabres, $1.42 billion

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

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Logan Cooley scored four straight goals and had an assist and the Utah Mammoth beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-1 on Monday night to avenge a home loss four days earlier.

Cooley gave Utah a 3-1 lead on a breakaway at 4:19 of the third period, and completed his second hat trick of the season into an empty net with 4:19 left. He added a short-handed empty-netter with 2:17 to go for his career-high fourth of the night and 13th of the season.

The 21-year-old Cooley had the first four-goal game in the NHL this season. He had another natural hat trick in the first period in a 7-4 victory at St. Louis on Oct. 24. He has three career NHL hat tricks.

The teams also played Thursday night at Delta Center, with Vegas winning 4-1. Utah rebounded Saturday night, topping the New York Rangers 3-2 at home to end a four-game skid. Vegas fell 4-3 in overtime at Anaheim on Saturday night.

Dylan Guenther had a goal and an assist for Utah, and Karel Vejmelka stopped 33 shots. Ivan Barbashev scored for Vegas, and Carl Lindbom made 20 saves.

Guenther and Cooley scored in a 1:17 span in the first period. Guenther got his ninth of the season with 5:06 left off assists from Cooley and defenseman Nate Schmidt. Cooley connected with 3:49 remaining, with Guenther and Schmidt getting assists.

Barbashev scored for Vegas at 5:24 of the second.

{coyotes} Celebrini's hat trick and overtime goal lift Sharks over Mammoth

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

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Macklin Celebrini scored a power-play goal in overtime to complete his second hat trick of the season and the San Jose Sharks overcame a blown third-period lead to beat the Utah Mammoth 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Celebrini scored twice in the first six minutes of the game and capped it when he beat Vitek Vanacek with 2:09 left in overtime after Utah had been called for too many men on the ice.

That gave the 19-year-old Celebrini 30 points this season, joining Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby as the only teenagers ever to do that in the first 20 games of a season.

JJ Peterka scored twice in the third period to force overtime and earn Utah a point. He got the tying goal with 2:51 to play when his shot on the rush snuck past Yaroslav Askarov for a rare soft goal allowed by the San Jose netminder this month.

The Mammoth have lost their last three games in overtime and have one win in their last seven games.

Askarov made 24 saves for San Jose.

Vanacek made 19 saves.

Celebrini got the Sharks off to a fast start when he finished a nifty passing sequence with Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev with a wrist shot from the left circle just 1:47 into the game.

He struck again about four minutes later when he beat Vanacek on a breakaway for his 12th goal of the season.

Celebrini's 30 points and 13 goals are the most by a Sharks player in the first 20 games of a season.

Mammoth: Host Vegas on Thursday night.

Sharks: Host Los Angeles on Thursday night.

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

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Matthew Schaefer scored on a slap shot 2:08 into overtime and the New York Islanders beat the Utah Mammoth 3-2 on Friday night for their third straight extra-time victory.

Jonathon Drouin and Emil Heineman also scored for the Islanders (10-6-2) in their fourth straight win, and Tony DeAngelo had two assists. David Rittich stopped 27 shots - including all 16 after the first period.

Dylan Guenther and JJ Peterka scored for the Mammoth in the Utah franchise's 100th game. Karel Vejmelka had 18 saves.

The Mammoth are the best in the NHL in limiting shots on goal and they outshot the Islanders 29-21 as they dropped to 5-1-1 at home.

New York tied it 2-2 with 6:16 remaining when the puck went off Jonathon Drouin's skate and was touched by Utah defenseman Nate Schmidt's stick as it passed over the goal line. The goal was initially disallowed but reversed after video review.

Heineman opened the scoring 7:13 into the first period - the second straight contest he notched the first goal of the game.

Peterka tied it with just under 7 minutes remaining in the first with his sixth of the season.

The Mammoth ended their seven-game power-play goal drought when Guenther's slap shot went over Rittich's shoulder during a 5-on-3 with 1:25 left in the opening period to take a 2-1 lead. That marked the first time this season the Islanders gave up a goal with a two-man disadvantage.

The Islanders beat Las Vegas in overtime Thursday and was in the second half or a back-to-back but matched the Mammoth's energy with rugged defense and deft power-play kills, squelching five of six opportunities.

Islanders: At Colorado on Sunday for the fifth game of their road trip.

Mammoth: At Anaheim on Monday.

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

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Clayton Keller scored 47 seconds into overtime to lift the Utah Mammoth to a 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Ostlund's first NHL goal tied the game at 7:50 of the third when he batted home a puck that caromed off the glass and was knocked out of the air to the front of the net by Isak Rosen.

This was the first matchup between the two teams since the June 26 trade that sent winger JJ Peterka to Utah for forward Josh Doan and defenseman Michael Kesselring. Peterka, who spent three-plus seasons with Buffalo and would not re-sign with the team, was booed each time he touched the puck.

Sabres: Conclude a three-game home stand against St. Louis on Thursday.

Mammoth: Continue a four-game road trip in Toronto on Wednesday.

{coyotes} Balanced Mammoth off to a torrid start in second season since moving to Utah

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

The Arizona Coyotes spent years keeping the team mostly intact, hoping a big-splash addition via trade or free agency would be enough to push them deep into the playoffs.

Seeing that method wasn't working, general manager Bill Armstrong hit the reset button, unloading veteran players and their high-dollar contracts for a cache of draft picks that would set the foundation for the future.

The future appears to be here in the franchise's second season since moving to Utah, with the Mammoth matching the best start since the franchise moved from Winnipeg in 1996.

"I like the way we manage the momentum of the game, I like the maturity, the way we control our emotions," Mammoth coach André Tourigny said. "I don't think we're at our full potential with any of our structure or any of our system — it's a work in progress."

It's been working so far.

The franchise had been trying to solve the playoff riddle since playing in the 2012 Western Conference finals. The then-Coyotes reached the postseason in the 2020 NHL pandemic bubble, losing to Colorado after beating Nashville in the qualifying round, but that's it since the inspiring run 13 years ago.

Armstrong's renovation project began in 2021 with a roster purging that left a core group of young players he hoped would be joined by franchise-altering draft picks.

The latest phase of the rebuild has seen the young core mesh with the new additions in a steady climb under Tourigny. The franchise has increased its win and point totals during each of Tourigny's five seasons and is off to a roaring start this year.

After opening this season 1-2, Utah reeled off seven straight wins to tie the Colorado Avalanche atop the Western Conference standings with 16 points (8-3).

"Winning is fun," forward Dylan Guenther said. "We're playing a lot of games, too, so it's fun to keep it rolling."

The top line of Nick Schmaltz, Barrett Hayton and Clayton Keller has developed into one of the league's best during the early part of the season.

The shifty Schmaltz has been superb in his eighth season with the franchise, tying Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon for second in the NHL with 17 points (seven goals). Captain Keller has been to the All-Star game four straight seasons — five overall — and has 12 points through 11 games after posting a career-high 90 points last season.

Hayton has two goals, two assists and a plus-seven rating, matching Schmaltz for best on the team.

JJ Peterka has provided the scoring punch the Mammoth had hoped (four goals, six assists) when they traded for him, Mikhail Sergachev has been a solid two-way defenseman and new addition Nate Schmidt has provided stability on the blue line.

And then there's Logan Cooley.

The 21-year-old has been a star in the making since the Coyotes selected him with the third overall pick of the 2022 NHL draft and increased his production each of his first two seasons in the league. Cooley has eight goals and four assists in 11 games, and the Mammoth locked him up with an eight-year, $80 million contract extension this week.

"I think this is what we're trying to build and this is exactly what we hoped for when we brought a team here," Mammoth owner Ryan Smith said. "It's a message to his teammates that this is a leadership move. It's also a big message to the NHL that this is a destination and we're going to be doing this for a while."

Karel Vejmelka has been a steady No. 1 goalie since arriving in 2021 and is off to a strong start this season, tying for the NHL lead with six wins and a 2.75 goals-against average. Vitek Vaněček has been solid as his backup with two wins and a 2.00 goals-against average in three games since being signed as a free agent in the offseason.

"They have both been unbelievable," Guenther said. "When your goalies are playing like that, you've got a chance to win every game."

The way the entire team is playing, the Mammoth have been close to winning every game to start the season.

{coyotes} Cooley signs 8-year, $80 million contract with Mammoth

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

Logan Cooley signed an eight-year, $80 million contract with the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday. It has an average annual value of $10 million and begins next season.

The 21-year-old forward leads the Mammoth with eight goals and is second with 12 points in 11 games this season. He had a goal in a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

Cooley is in the final season of his entry-level contract and could have become a restricted free agent after the season.

"I'd like everyone know how grateful I am to be in this position and this opportunity," Cooley said Wednesday. "I would like to thank Ryan and Ashley Smith for believing in me and giving me this opportunity, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that they made the right decision.

"I love it here. It's the best time I've had playing hockey, the fans, the facilities we have are second to none. And you know, I think just the team we have with (forward Dylan) Guenther, (forward Clayton) Keller, 'Sergy' (defenseman Mikhail Sergachev), the core we have here. It's a special group, and I'm excited to add to that. And I think the way we're playing and the team we have, we're going to be a dangerous team to stop."

Selected by the Arizona Coyotes with the No. 3 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Cooley has 121 points (53 goals, 68 assists) in 121 regular-season games. He had NHL career highs in goals (25), assists (40) and points (65) in 75 games with Utah last season.

Among players from his draft class, Cooley ranks first in goals and points, and third in assists.

"Logan has made a huge commitment today by signing with the Mammoth to this organization, to his teammates, to the Mammoth fans, and also to the state of Utah," Mammoth general manager Bill Armstrong said. " The reason I'm so excited today to sign Logan to an eight-year deal is the same reason on draft day. We were so excited about getting this young man. He's an elite centerman with speed, and they're extremely rare and extremely hard to find."

"What makes him unique is his drive and character, his ability to improve. (He) has a huge hunger to win, and he's an impressive young man. ... Every day, he's relentlessly working on his game. ... so he's a remarkable young man.The Mammoth (8-3-0) next host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET; The Spot, Utah16, NHLN, SN, TVAS).

Cooley said he is setting his goals high.

"Yeah, I think we've talked about it a ton, is winning a Stanley Cup," he said. "That's why you play this game, and that's why it's fun working every day at the rink, trying to get better, trying to work on your game, individually, as a team. And I think the best in the League, when it's all said and done, it's kind of judged by winning. And that's what we love to do, that's what we want to do, and that's what we're going to accomplish."

Armstrong said he is impressed by Cooley's worh ethic and ability to lead.

"He's already doing it right now the way he comes to the rink, how hard he tries every single day to get better," Armstrong said. "He goes home in the summer. He gets bigger, stronger and faster. He's a huge example-setter inside our organization.

"But if you watch him, he's always been pushing the envelope, winning since a kid in the U.S. program … the world championships last year, and he's doing it here. And so he's going to continue to push that pace to make Utah a winner ... That's not an easy process to go through, but I love the way that he attacks it every day."

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Connor McDavid had a pair of goals and Evan Bouchard added three assists as the Edmonton Oilers exploded for five second-period goals to get past the sizzling Utah Mammoth 6-3 on Tuesday night.

Leon Draisaitl and Mattias Ekholm each had a goal and an assist, while Isaac Howard and Ty Emberson also scored for the Oilers (5-4-2), ending a two-game losing skid.

Logan Cooley, JJ Peterka and Barrett Hayton scored for the Mammoth (8-3-0), who saw an impressive seven-game winning streak halted.

Stuart Skinner registered 20 saves to collect the win for the Oilers, while Karel Vejmelka made 21 stops for the Mammoth.

It was Cooley's league-leading fourth game-opening goal of the year and he became the first player in league history to score each of his first eight goals of the season in the first period.

Although their winning streak ended Tuesday, Utah's eight wins in October mark the first time in franchise history (including previous incarnations in Winnipeg and Arizona) that the team has ever recorded eight wins in a calendar month.

Mammoth: Host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.

Oilers: Host the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

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

NEW YORK – San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini, Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley and New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" presented by GEICO for the week ending Oct. 26.

FIRST STAR – MACKLIN CELEBRINI, C, SAN JOSE SHARKS

Celebrini led the NHL with 5-5—10 in four games to power the Sharks (2-5-2, 6 points) to their first two wins of the season. He scored once in a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders Oct. 21. The 19-year-old Celebrini then notched 3-2—5, including the primary assist on Will Smith's overtime winner, in a 6-5 victory against the New York Rangers Oct. 23. It marked Celebrini's second career five-point performance (also April 9, 2025 at MIN: 3-2—5), making him the fourth player in League history with multiple such outings before turning 20. The others: Wayne Gretzky (5x), Dale Hawerchuk (2x) and Bryan Trottier (2x). Celebrini added an assist on San Jose's lone goal in a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils Oct. 24 before finishing the week with 1-2—3, capped by his second career overtime tally (also Nov. 18, 2024 vs. DET), in a 6-5 triumph versus the Minnesota Wild Oct. 26. Celebrini, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2024 NHL Draft and a finalist for the 2024-25 Calder Memorial Trophy (25-38—63 in 70 GP), places third in the League with 6‑9—15 through nine total appearances this season. Only four other teenagers in NHL history have posted as many points through their first nine games of a given campaign: Trottier (6-12—18 in 1975-76 w/ NYI), Gretzky (5-11—16 in 1980-81 w/ EDM), Sidney Crosby (6-9—15 in 2006-07 w/ PIT) and Elias Pettersson (9-6—15 in 2018-19 w/ VAN).

SECOND STAR – LOGAN COOLEY, C, UTAH MAMMOTH

Cooley ranked second in the NHL with 5-3—8 in four contests to propel the Mammoth (8-2-0, 16 points) to a perfect week as they extended their winning streak to a franchise-record seven games dating to Oct. 15. He was held without a point in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Colorado Avalanche Oct. 21, but rebounded with a career-best 3-1—4 – including his second hat trick (also March 28, 2024 vs. NSH) – in a 7-4 triumph over the St. Louis Blues Oct. 23. Cooley followed that with 2-1—3, his eighth career three-point performance, in a 6-2 win versus the Minnesota Wild Oct. 25 before picking up the primary assist on the tiebreaking goal in a 3-2 victory against the Winnipeg Jets Oct. 26. The 21-year-old Cooley – the third overall pick from the 2022 NHL Draft – owns 7-4—11 through his first 10 outings of 2025-26, with his seven goals one off the League lead shared by Jack Hughes, Shane Pinto and Mark Scheifele (all w/ 8).

THIRD STAR – JACK HUGHES, C, NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Hughes (5-1—6 in 4 GP) matched Celebrini and Cooley for the League lead in goals as the Devils (8-1-0, 16 points) moved to the top of the NHL standings by stretching their winning streak to eight games dating to Oct. 11. He registered his third career hat trick in a 5-2 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 21. Hughes, who did not record a point in a 4-1 win versus the Minnesota Wild Oct. 22, then collected the primary assist on the decisive goal in a 3-1 victory against the San Jose Sharks Oct. 24 before closing the week with a pair of goals (including his ninth career overtime winner) in a 4-3 decision versus the Colorado Avalanche Oct. 26. The 24-year-old Hughes, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2019 NHL Draft, is tied for first place in the NHL with eight goals through nine total appearances this season (8‑4—12).

{coyotes} Cooley, Schmaltz each score twice as Mammoth stay hot with 6-2 win over Wild

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Logan Cooley scored twice in the first 3:29, Nick Schmaltz also had two goals and the Utah Mammoth won their sixth straight game, beating the Minnesota Wild 6-2 on Saturday night.

Two days after scoring a first-period hat trick at St. Louis, Cooley opened the scoring Saturday with a goal 56 seconds in. The former University of Minnesota star backhanded the puck out of midair and past Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson for an early 1-0 lead.

Cooley netted his second goal of the game on the power play at the 3:29 mark of the first period. Cooley and Utah took advantage of a slashing penalty to Minnesota's Yakov Trenin.

The Mammoth went up 3-0 less than two minutes later when Schmaltz scored his sixth goal of the season just shy of five minutes into the game.

Wild veteran Marcus Johansson single-handedly got his team back in the game with a pair goals. Johansson put Minnesota on the board with a one-timer from Zeev Buium with 4:21 left in the first.

Johansson, who entered the game with just one goal this season, notched his second on the power play late in the second period. Johansson received a nice back-handed pass from fourth-liner Vinnie Hinostroza and made it 3-2 with eight seconds remaining on the power play.

JJ Peterka made it 4-2 with 6:23 remaining in the third, and Schmaltz scored his second for a 5-2 margin. Schmaltz has scored seven goals in his past five games.

Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka made 32 saves.

John Marino added an empty-netter with 5.1 seconds remaining.

Mammoth: At Winnipeg on Sunday.

Wild: Host San Jose on Sunday.
