Mammoth cage Ducks in blowout win
Offseason trade acquisition JJ Peterka scored two goals and added two assists, helping his team snap a four-game losing skid in a 7-0 win over the helpless Anaheim Ducks.
Lawson Crouse (7) and Dylan Guenther (10) lit the lamp with two first-period goals. Ian Cole (2) and Peterka (12) increased the advantage to 4-0 in the second 20 minutes.

The Mammoth kept the pedal to the metal in the final period, adding a trio of goals.
After Liam O’Brien’s second goal of the year gave the club a 5-0 lead, Peterka scored his second in as many periods to extend the lead to 6-0.
Clayton Keller added a final goal as Utah regained some of the confidence it had skated with earlier in the season.
Pregame
Per Tourigny, no changes to the lineup which means Tanev & Hayton will be scratched again.

Tourigny on scratching Barrett Hayton:
“At this point, if we win we keep the same lineup. It’s not a knock on those guys…he will be back. He’s an important player for us.”
“But right now, there’s no other choice for us after our effort last game to keep the same lineup.”
