The regular season has officially wrapped, and all focus will shift to ‘Game 83’, the opening game of the First Round. This group has worked hard to get to this point. One of the most exciting times, the playoffs, are just days away.

“As a professional athlete this is the time you want to be in,” Associate Captain Lawson Crouse shared. “You want to be playing in the playoffs; you want to be giving yourself a chance to win a championship. It starts here; it starts now.”

“It’s super exciting,” Captain Clayton Keller. “We’re so excited to be in the playoffs. This is where we wanted to go and now the real fun starts, the regular season’s over. It doesn’t matter at all really. It’s (time to) focus on Vegas.”

Following Thursday’s game, the Mammoth announced the winners of the Utah Mammoth Honors. Captain Clayton Keller was named the Team MVP and Leading Scorer, Michael Carcone won the Community-Obsessed Award, the community voted Lawson Crouse as the winner of the All-In Award, and Dylan Guenther was given the Three Stars Award.

There was plenty of energy throughout the night, as there has been all season. As the players look forward to the upcoming home playoff games, everyone is excited to see the energy of the Delta Center during the postseason.

“I mean, you’ve seen it the last few games, right? It’s been pretty electric in here,” Carcone said. “I think the fans are excited, just as excited as us, so it’s going to be special.” 

“Feeling that energy and that atmosphere out there each and every night, I find it hard to believe that there is another level,” Crouse shared. “Considering how loud they have been, they’ve continued to blow us away. So, I’m sure they have something in the bag for us for the playoffs.”

Additional Notes from Tonight

Crouse scored his 24th goal of the season tonight, matching his career-high set with Arizona (2022-23). His 44 points (24G, 20A) finished just one shy of his career-high set that same season with the Coyotes (24G, 21A) after he posted 18 points (12G, 6A) in 81 games with Utah in 2024-25.

Keller tallied two assists tonight for his 16th multi-assist game and the 28th multi-point game of the season, both of which were team highs. He registered a career-high 62 assists in 2025-26, and he also extended his franchise-record assist and point streak to 10 games (4G, 16A).

The Mammoth concluded the 2025-26 regular season tonight, posting new franchise-record totals in wins (43), points (92), and points percentage (.561).
