The Utah Mammoth have announced that forward Logan Cooley will be out for at least two months after suffering a devastating leg injury.

The Utah Mammoth have started to stumble a bit after their positive start to the season, but they’re now going to be challenged in a major way because of an injury to one of their most important players.

The Mammoth have announced that forward Logan Cooley won’t be able to play for at least the next two months because of a crushing leg injury he recently suffered.

Cooley is one of the center pieces of the Mammoth, and was recently signed to an eight year contract extension with an AAV (average annual value) of $10 million.

So far this year, Cooley had 23 points (14G, 9A) in 29 games played.

Logan Cooley Was Thrilled To Sign His Extension With The Mammoth

Cooley was taken with the third overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, who are now known as the Utah Mammoth after relocating from Arizona before the start of last season.

Cooley has been one of the clear center pieces of the Mammoth, hence the massive extension and commitment to him over the next eight years.

After he signed the deal, Cooley talked about how excited he was to continue his career in Utah while also praising team owners Ryan and Ashley Smith.

I’m excited to sign an eight-year extension with the Mammoth. Choosing to play with this group of teammates was the easiest part of this decision, and living in Utah has been amazing since day one. The atmosphere at the Delta Center in front of our fans is unreal and Ryan and Ashley Smith have given our team every resource to succeed, which is all you can ask for as a player. We have an opportunity to do something special here thanks to the incredible people in the organization. This is an awesome day for me and my family, and I am proud to commit to the state of Utah and to the Mammoth. – Logan Cooley

So far in his career, he has 132 points (59G, 73A) in 186 games.
