SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Mammoth ended its road trip with a single point, dropping an overtime contest against the New York Islanders at Delta Center on Friday.
It was the third straight OT game for New York, and they had been clutch in those moments, winning all three matches. It was the fourth OT game of the season for Utah, and the first that they dropped.
Dylan Guenther and JJ Peterka lit the lamp for the Mammoth. It was Guenther’s sixth and Peterka’s fifth of the young season.
Utah will now embark on a two-game road trip with stops in Anaheim and San Jose.

First Period
Great start for the Mammoth through the first few minutes here.
Energy throughout all 4 lines and 6 shots on goal already. They look more like the team who scored 4 unanswered against Buffalo in the third period the other night.

Utah had a short power play, but Cooley was then called for hooking.
4 on 4 hockey for 1:42.
1P: 13:46 | 0-0

Islanders score a wild goal.
Loose puck in the low slot gets batted in by Heineman with only one hand on his stick.
Took Vejmelka by surprise.
1-0 NYI.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
NICK SCHMALTZ SCORES AND UTAH TIES THE GAME 1-1!!!!!!!
What a shift from the top line to keep the puck alive, wait for the right play to develop, crash the net, and put it away.

JJ PETERKA SCORES ON A REDIRECT FROM LAWSON CROUSE AND THE MAMMOTH TIE THINGS UP!!!!!
That one will count!
1-1
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Just a filthy setup from Marino and Crouse.
Cross ice pass, great vision from Crouse, and an easy one for Peterka to redirect.
1-1 in SLC! https://t.co/sDCVivfzwC

Utah is called for too many men on the ice.

DYLAN GUENTHER SCORES FROM HIS OFFICE AND UTAH TAKES A 2-1 LEAD!!!!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
As soon as Guenther laid that puck off and went to work you knew where it would end up.
Big goal for 11 and the PP. https://t.co/VXRlESYjEM
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Both Guenther and Utah’s power play needed that goal so bad.
First PP goal since the Jets on 10/26.
They’d missed on their previous 15 chances.
First goal for Guenther since Toronto on 11/5.

Second Period
Islanders are absolutely buzzing to start this second period.
Harsh on the forecheck, stretch passes, several dangerous chances.
Utah needs to respond here. Match the tempo.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Islanders just had two Grade A chances right in the low slot.
Both unmarked.
Luckily for Utah, they sailed over the top.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Sergachev just absorbed a slapshot to one of his legs.
He limped to the bench. Trainer is looking at him.

Back out there.
Seems to be just fine. https://t.co/BUXSDgE3Od

NYI back to full strength.
Utah is 1/6 tonight on the PP.
Positive that they scored, but not quite good enough.
Missed opportunities to bury this game. https://t.co/tIz5d547u8

NYI PP after Jack McBain is called for interference.
3P: 11:20 | 2-1 Utah
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Utah back to full strength.
Great PK from Utah. Huge save from Vejmelka after a power move led to a chance right on the doorstep.
Crouse was a standout too. Clogged several passing lanes and stopped a few key passes. https://t.co/3Jtul2RZHr
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Pulverizing check by Stenlund.
Crowd loved that one.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Islanders score but it was kicked in and does not count.
Utah still leads 2-1!
6:16 to go.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
The call is being reviewed.
We’ll see if Schmidt’s contact with the puck will change this call. https://t.co/dLxLlKyUuD
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
The refs determined that Schmidt played the puck into the net and it will count.
2-2 in SLC. https://t.co/TwY6j4b1ct
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 15, 2025
Both teams get a point.
Off to OT we go.
