Peterka has an undisclosed injury and is regarded as day-to-day, Catherine Bogart of Utah’s official site reports Saturday.
Utah acquired Peterka from Buffalo and signed him to a five-year, $38.5 million contract over the summer. The 23-year-old is projected to open 2025-26 on the Mammoth’s top six and first power-play unit as long as he’s healthy. Peterka had 27 goals and 68 points in 77 outings with Buffalo last year.
