22, while the Mammoth had lost four games in a row. It was a bit of a scheduled loss for the visitors, starting backup goaltender Vítek Vaněček to give Karel Vejmelka some extra rest. But on-ice play doesn’t care about odds.
The Mammoth scored in just about every situation: on the power play, short-handed, at even strength and on an empty net. With a 6-3 final score, the Mammoth far exceeded the expectation that head coach André Tourigny’s set after morning skate, when he said a singular goal that goes in off the post would likely determine the winner. “Someone told me that we hadn’t lost in 55 days,” said Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan.
“But whenever you lose, it still feels the same. ” That said, it wasn’t the Mammoth’s smoothest game. Nate Schmidt scored their second goal, which came on Utah’s third shot of the game — and that was just 2:40 shy of the game’s halfway point.
