Kings vs. Mammoth | NHL Highlights | December 08, 2025

with Hall of Famers Patrice Berseron and 
Brad Marshia and saying Buffalo that was like play they would like to call off the 
opening face off. Got to be on the same page tonight. Yeah. And and every team 
really to be fair is going through that uh at different stages considering the condensed 
schedule with the Olympic Games coming up in the month of February as this one will be played 
behind. Trevor Moore’s got it for the Kings. They’re trying to shake a a check that time 
from Jack McBain out high Edmonson and it’s sent into the corner and they work it back to 
the line. Clark and his shot is on. Stopped by Van Milka trying to make a move there on Jack 
McBain right back towards the front and that’s cleared away out of the zone. Great effort Nate 
Smith. Gunther out high and Sergachev with it. Keller Gunther one-time and a stop by Keer. Baron 
Hatton will play it in behind the net but taken away. Now Kirk Pony going after it and the penalty 
is over. So Baldo is out and Kings clear it and a shot in front. Oh and boot again there Darcy 
Keer. No score early tonight in Salt Lake City. Go ahead and take it guys for about five minutes. 
Um yeah, Anderson with a shot and it’s stopped. Utah looking for a clear and it’ll be Barrett and 
thank you. Thanks to everybody. Um humbling and uh embarrassing really. Gunther to the front 
right there was Denal and seriously it he is all around it. The other way Kempe and he scores 
and Adrien Kemp has made it one- nothing Kings. Well, opportunity at one end leads to one 
at the other. Work this puck up the ice, but then back it came and what a nifty move 
from Kempe as he fakes like he’s going to go across to his left and then just a quick cut 
back Nick to the right that fools Carella. And you had both Nate Schmidt and Shawn Dery 
taking away a possible forehand move. So sometimes a goalender can recognize that 
at the defense sent right back in. Donnie, you were mentioning the first game back from 
a long trip. Yeah. Kind of coinciding as this one over the top with kind of the dog days of 
the season in the condensed schedule. Almost have to control your energy just on what’s 
immediately in front of you. Doing your job shift to shift. That one went over the top. 
Trevor Moore with a good bid. And now Keller will turn the other way. But that’s been what’s 
plagued the Mammoth here is just the consistency terms of stringing those efforts together 
game after game. Philip Deno will take it to the corner and in behind the effort Trevor 
Moore back out high. Dumlan right towards the front and a cover. You talk about energy too, 
Domin and Nick. This is the end of the line, right? It’s uh Krauss, Carone, McBain. 
They’ve provided the big energy when it’s needed. They have absolutely been 
the most consistent. But look out here. Yeah. Goes back in and Arma scores. Joel 
Arma and it’s two nothing Los Angeles. See Arma takes off and Marino and 
Serge have puck staring at the puck. And a beautiful stretch pass onto the stick 
of Arma who beats Carell Vamela for a twogoal lead. Vamela ends up getting about 70% of this 
puck. Looks like it ramped off the top of this. Kopitar. Well, Andre Kopitar right back to 
the front and stop there. Right pad save. A beauty by Malca. Outstanding save but again a 
little too loose. Look out. Tan is in. He scores Brandon Tannon. Huge goal here in the opening 
period like coming back and getting his first goal as a Utah Mammoth and first goal of 
the season and it comes as a critical time as he steals some momentum back for his team. 
Well, it was the leg kick right there. That’s what completely sold Darcy Keer on the shot. is 
challenging and it was offside prior to the goal. Wow. But but I mean what a move nonetheless. 
And at the last second is when the puck went on edge and aided Brandon Tanv’s ability to put 
that puck up into the attic of the net. Well, if it stands, it’ll be his first in 40 
games dating back to last March. Yeah, it looks pretty clear to be offside 
unfortunately for Tanv and for the Mammoth. as again the reminder that that puck has 
to cross the line for the player and these officials will review it and remember it’s 
a penalty to the Kings if they challenge and are wrong. So onus on them that they are sure 
West McCauley after reviewing the play it was determined that the play was offside. Therefor 
the call on the ice is all the time. We got no ball 855 on the clock. This was a Superman 
sliding play to block it by Dowy and Al Keller towards the front. Rebound. Oh good that time 
right in front. That’s exactly what you want. This one is played back. Fogle and across 
for Quinton Bfield but Dersio will pick it up. Three on two goes Utah. He’ll bring it to 
the Kings line. Keller tried to get it to the middle. Taken away by Brent Clark. Jack McD back. 
Edmonson shoots. Knocked away by Vamela. Dumaly goes in behind the net. Kempe to the front. A 
stop air. Robbed and Vla. Stland has it. Bristol in front, but that was blocked. Again, you see the 
layers that that puck has to get through. Back out high. Sergeev shot on. Covered by Keer. Exactly. 
Teams that are so good at blocking shots. You just shoot around those screens. You see it. That 
one again doesn’t get to the net. That one does. As the power play continues for another 
20 seconds. Carryover time. Sergeev now looking to get it towards the front now. Sergeev 
thinking about it. Might have a look here. Back out high. Gunther scores. Power play goal. Oh, 
what a lift. Dylan Gunther and the shot is back. Matt McConnell goal call. And who else but Dylan 
Gunther to give it to us. But it’s the onetouch passing in the pass from Clayton Keller here. On 
the stick, off the stick. No hesitation. One-time from Gunther Bar down. Watch the front of the 
net. A quick drive. Stenley. He shoots. He’s in a line. Out high. Dury. He’s got a lot. Hit the 
post. It got behind Keer and it stays out. have been on the march in this second period as we take 
a look at our Verizon reliable performance. Neri turnover here. Lefari will bring it in. Dropped it. Kopitar out high into the front 
and a rebound. They score. Good hold. Kempe was involved. Kopitar as well. And it’s 3-1 zone. You 
see Marino right side of your screen. He’s all the way up at the blue line. And there’s nobody home 
in front as the Kings quickly get it down to the net. They aren’t able to deflect the first one in, 
but it’s right back onto the stick of an Kopitar. There’s Marino top of the screen and the Kings 
beat the Mammoth back to the net for the goal. off of Kemp’s left skate and then his knee 
wasn’t quite as intimidating physically and behind the net to the front Kopitar and he’s 
stopped by Van right on Q had a chance to be in Lublana about 35 mi south of his hometown 
a couple of summers ago was incredible here’s a chance and Baron Hayden is robbed here 
comes Sergev holds the puck hatton pops out. Payton just not able to throws across and 
Keller will play it. Maybe a threeon two if Utah hurries Keller with speed. Keller 
jersey shoots. Stop that time. Big save. Keer caught it with the left. Bite into that 
lead. They’re down by two here in the third. and out of the zone and all the way back. 
Maverick Lamaroo and Purka Schmaltz has it to the middle. Backhand score. The captain Clayton 
Keller. Oh, what a beauty. It’s a onegoal game. Watch this play from Peter. has about.5 seconds to make an incredible play under 
serious pressure at the blue line and then Keller with the back hand back 
against the grain and the mammoth are no pun intended played right back. Lefari 
shoots and a big save. Carell Vlka. Stenland on the draw. They win 
control. Dery’s got it. Shawn Dery down low. Purka. And now Keller 
holding on to it. And Stellin fanned on it. Had a great look. Turn the other 
way towards the 18 net and it goes in. Stenland trying to post up in the slot. 
Still nobody that went to the net. The key here is when nobody goes to the net, it 
forces it doesn’t force the Kings to shrink to the middle. And so they’re all able 
to maint try to send to the front. It’s denied and forced out by Anderson. And that’s 
going to do it. So the Los Angeles Kings come to the Wasatch front. They get their 14th 
victory of the season and 10th road victory.

  1. Wow…Joel Armia doing better with the Kings than with the Habs..?
    Different role, maybe…gonna have to start keeping a tighter eye on the guy.
    Important piece of our Olympic team (if the coaching staff has got any common peasant sense).
