Utah started the season with three straight on the road in Colorado, Nashville, and Chicago. They went 1-2 in those games. Calgary is four games deep into their schedule, and they are currently 1-3 with their only win coming in a shootout against Edmonton.
The Mammoth, then Utah Hockey Club, and Flames faced off three times last season. Utah got the best of them in all three matchups, scoring at least three goals in each game.

First Period
Keller just put one right off of Devin Cooley’s mask from down low.
That can’t feel good.
Utah pushing hard here in the opening minutes. Strong forecheck and getting pucks on net.

Sergachev to the box for a high stick.

Flames score on the power play.
1-0 Calgary.

Stenlund to the box for interference.
Pretty soft call as both players were battling for position towards the net.
Calgary back to the PP.
1P: 9:16 | 1-0 Flames

Schmaltz is tripped and Utah will now head to the man advantage.
Mammoth PP on deck. Great chance to level things here in the first period.

— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Keller is called for a hook.
4 on 4 hockey for 1:10.
I’d need to see that one again, but these are some weak calls…
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Tusky already up to some shenanigans as he extinguishes a Flames fan. pic.twitter.com/9yE2foBXGg

Barrett Hayton was just tripped and slid across the ice like a penguin.
Mammoth PP on deck. Need to do something here.

— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Breakaway for Logan Cooley but he’s stopped by Devin Cooley.
Tried to go 5 hole but Devin slammed the door.
The Mammoth remain scoreless.

Utah trails 1-0 after the first period.
Another period where they dominate possession and outshoot their opponent 11-5…something has got to give.
At some point the pucks have to start going on.pic.twitter.com/hmeSGR7UJu

Second Period
BARRETT HAYTON SCORES FROM THE SLOT AND UTAH HAS TIED THIS GAME!!!!!
1-1!

What a save by Devin Cooley for the Flames.
Wraparound attempt by Utah and he jumped from the far post and stuffed the puck with his stick.
Little momentum from Utah after the goal.
Pucks are flying and they’re getting bodies to the net.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Simashev is so smooth in his one-on-one battles.
Closes so fast and utilizes both his body and stick to win the majority of those.
Plays well above his age and experience.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
JJ PETERKA SCORES ON THE BREAKAWAY AND UTAH LEADS 2-1!!!!
Unbelievable speed.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Blazing speed and finesse.
What a filthy finish on the breakaway.

Utah PP with another chance.

2 fights just broke out during Utah’s PP.
McBain vs Bahl & Yamamoto vs Farabee.
Both had it coming.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Another PP opportunity for Utah after Schmaltz was hooked.
They’re absolutely working Calgary right now.
Ice has tilted.

Utah has called a TO.

Keller just took a face wash from Pachal.
Somebody needs to answer that bell.
Can’t let your captain take that kind of treatment.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
McBain vs Klapka.
Big boy scrap.
Here we go.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Guenther is tripped and Utah will get yet another PP opportunity.
Calgary plays dirty man 😂

Cooley just STOOD UP Frost in the corner.
My goodness, what a hit.

Utah leading Calgary in shots 28-8 is actually insane.
Need to put this one away early in the third.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Third Period
Ohhhhh a little toe drag from John Marino.
Nearly finished it too.
How bout that for a D-man.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Roughing penalty against Calgary.
5th PP for the Mammoth. Time to put one away.
3P: 17:03 | 2-1 Utah

Power play remains 0/5 tonight.
They need to figure that out. Too many opportunities. https://t.co/GEYvZ3rDCu
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Incredible stretch for Vejmelka.
At least 3 or 4 big saves during an onslaught of dangerous chances for the Flames.
He’s kept them all out.
Utah still leads 2-1 with 11:51 remaining.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Vejmelka is called for a trip…idk about that one.
Looked clean to me.
Calgary to the PP.
3P: 9:13 | 2-1 Utah

Devin Cooley to the bench.
Extra attacker on for the Flames.
1:20 to go.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
Not necessarily the most shots he’s ever faced, but what a game for Vejmelka.
Calgary has been knocking on the door constantly during the third period, but he’s stopped them all.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) October 16, 2025
STENLUND SCORES ON THE EMPTY NET AND UTAH LEADS 3-1 LATE!
That should do it in SLC.
