Utah Mammoth Extend Winning Streak to Seven with 3-2 Victory

URGENT UPDATE: The Utah Mammoth have achieved a remarkable seventh consecutive victory, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Sunday night, July 15, 2023. This victory not only extends their winning streak but also solidifies their status with an impressive record of 8-2-0, the best in the Western Conference.

Dylan Guenther was the hero of the match, breaking a tie with just 5:36 left in the game. Guenther’s game-winning goal marks his 11th of the last 17 he has scored dating back to last season, showcasing his critical role in the Mammoth’s success.

Earlier in the match, the Mammoth surged ahead, scoring twice in just over a minute during the second period. Mikhail Sergachev opened the scoring for Utah, followed by Michael Carcone finishing off a swift 2-on-1 opportunity with Kailer Yamamoto.

“Winning is fun,” Guenther stated post-game. “We’re playing a lot of games, too, so I think just continue to just keep it rolling and just enjoy this one.”

Mammoth head coach André Tourigny expressed his confidence in the team, saying, “We feel our team is different in the sense of, yes, we have the excitement, but instead of excitement and hope, we have excitement and confidence.” This growing confidence is crucial as they prepare for their next challenge.

The Mammoth’s victory comes after a dominating 6-2 win against the Minnesota Wild just the night before. With this momentum, they are set to conclude their four-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
