NHL Highlights | Sharks vs. Mammoth | October 17, 2025

And the starting lineups for our matchup here 
at Salt Lake City as the opening face off. The Sharks in the traveling white and the home blue 
for Utah as a starting lineup brought to you by American Express. And at center looking to move in 
JJ Purka for the Mammoth. Drop pass Kulie a shot and that gets blocked by Mario Ferraro over the 
corner. San Jose looking to push it out. Gunther keeps it in for Utah. Give and go. Shot blocked. 
Zimbashev getting in deep. Rebounds down low and a good point blank chance and Kulie just couldn’t 
find the net. Face off win for the Mammoth. That was a problem for them Wednesday as Calgary won 
57% of the draws here. As A Ascarov steers it aside. They were outshot 25 to one as Azarov makes 
a save and a backhand pass toward the slot cleared up by Will Smith for the Shark. Couple they’re 
trying to fill those holes and that’s something they’re going to have to address too. Maybe even 
just from a a Mike Greer situation. Sergeev and a glove saved by Ascarov. Way they attacked on 
the power play. Here is Sergev. Five on three. Keller for [ __ ] One time score. Nick Schmolz 
gets Utah on the board and a power play goal. They’re seeing great movement. There’s 
Nick Schmaltz in that bumper spot right in the middle of the ice. So effective 
in small areas. Great punk retriever, but watch how he’s moving around to try to 
find that soft area, right? He’s everywhere he’s going. He’s looking to see where can I get 
in the best position to not only receive a pass. Tulie plays it to himself. centers for 
Gunther across. Save Ascarov. Another point blank chance. This one from 
Purka. Centering pass. Schmalls. It bounces through the slot now at the line. 
Cole goes off the back glass. Jared Hayden for Utah. Tied up by Orlov. Colin Gra tries 
to dig it out but a turnover. Small score. Here’s a look at Nick Schmaltz. And you know, you 
go back to that battle that we were talking about with San Jose. But this in that battle right 
there, Utah wins it. Schmaltz is behind the net. He’s down below the goal line and with some 
help, he comes out with the puck. Orof tries to block it, but he goes up and over for his second 
goal of the game. his first two on the season. Part of this deeper defense core that Utah has 
this year. Twoon one developing. Tanv top of the circle driving. Shot saved by Ascarov. He 
has been very impressive. And what you can see Tanv is trying to get it around this sliding 
Dickinson there. Sharks are averaging just one shot per power play so far this season. Third 
lowest in the league. Here is Defoley kicking it to a stick. Heck off to the wing. Here is 
Smith at the line for Orla. Sets it up. Keys it up. Club saved and a score off the rebound. 
Tyler to Foley and the Sharks are on the board. That is exactly what the Sharks needed. They take 
that power play. They they lose the zone once they come back in pretty easily. Good zone entry by 
them with this season are struggling with that zone entry. And then it’s a big blast from the 
point with that netfront presence. And to Tapi, I mentioned him early. Got in a little 
bit tight in this one. He was in a perfect position. Right shot on that side. And that’s an 
easy tap in goal for Tyler Tupoi. Right place, right time. Here is Celibbrini 
winning the battle. Skinner in the corner. Back pass toward the slot. It’s 
in. Score. The Sharks have tied the game. Seemed like a harmless play from the corner. 
Two goals within a minute 50. And we’re not at a two. And it looks like it could be Jeff 
Skinner getting the goal. The puck’s up high. He thinks he’s all alone. He completely loses 
Jeff Skinner down low. He doesn’t know that he that there’s even a player down there and he’s 
standing flatfooted. That puck ends up going in front. I I would have thought it might 
have been Cabbrini, but it looks No. Yeah, it’s off the defenseman. That’s And Cole’s 
been out there a while. A long change, too. If you get stuck out there, it’s it’s 
tougher. pass it over. Score Liam Bry 32 Utah into the lineup on that fourth line. As I just 
talked about how confident I thought he was handling the puck, but he does not handle that one 
coming off the wall, coming off that dasher. Goes off his skate and there’s no support. But you know 
what? That’s great play by number 38 Liam O’Brien goes in. Gunther’s got that’s he’s got an elite 
shot whether it’s a wrist shot that one-time it’s it’s good now driving the net backand in front 
trying to jam it in for the hattick the splints and Ascarov hangs on as he goes to could protect 
this got comes back in a beautiful set there and then all alone in front schmaltz looking for the 
hattick and look at Ascarov he is full he keeps that left skate spread out to towards the the post 
to try to cover on the the ground. Look at that. Keller tips it in. Couple of goals 
for Schmaltz. O’Brien right now. the difference his goal in this 
game. Center scores the hattick Jose and then it’s Nick Smalls. 
A beautiful play here. Again, the puck comes from down low. This is like his 
second goal, too, where it’s a good work down low. They take advantage of a broken defensive 
zone play. Watch San Jose. They leave so much space. There are three guys around Schmol. 
Iorio hustling back cross for Ferraro. And the for check from Krauss creating an 
opportunity here for Utah. Cari scores. coming back. They weren’t able to get out of their 
zone cleanly and then they finally take it there. San Jose was not able to take advantage of that 
and keep pinning it in their end. Carone comes in on that for check originally puts pressure on. 
You can see he stick handles the puck not once, not twice. He’s able to get it clean. Both 
teams changing. Here is Hayden into the zone. Keller the drop pass. Schmaltz across. 
Keller score. First of the season, 62 Utah. You do it. That is how you draw it 
up. It is a beautiful play. And again, you get the San Jose Sharks running a little 
bit, but Utah takes advantage. That is pinpoint passing stick to stick. And they’re going 
across the middle twice. It came over to Schmaltz. Schmaltz looked like he was going to 
shoot and they and the San Jose Sharks quick passing but a lot of movement with their feet and 
they were able to generate not necessarily shots on goal but certainly a chance. Here’s Wenberg 
into the zone. Celbrini walking into the slot. Shot scori his first of the season and a power 
play goal for the Sharks. Their second power play tally tonight. 63 Mammoth. That’s right. 
the passing coming around and forcelini finds the puck high in the slot and and come away with 
a very substantial win here. Six to three at home. Final seconds have ticked off and 
the Utah Mammoth behind a hattick.
