VANCOVUER, British Columbia — \u2014 Clayton Keller<\/a> had the third hat trick of his career and the Utah Mammoth<\/a> extended their winning streak to three games with a 7-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Keller’s first three-goal game of the season came on a disputed power-play score and two empty-net goal. His man-advantage goal at 7:04 of the second period came on the deflection of a point shot by Dylan Guenther<\/a> that gave Utah a 3-2 lead. The goal was originally waived off due to his stick touching the puck above the cross bar. After a video review, the referee ruled the stick was at or below the cross bar.<\/p>\n

Dylan Guenther and Lawson Crowse each had a goal and an assist for Utah (40-30-6), which continued to push for a Western Conference playoff spot. Kailer Yamamoto<\/a> and Liam O\u2019Brien, who was in the lineup after 18 games as a healthy scratch, also scored for the Mammoth, who won their fourth straight road game. Logan Cooley<\/a> added two assists. Karel Vejmelka<\/a> made 19 saves for Utah.<\/p>\n

Linus Karlsson<\/a>, playing in his 100th NHL game, scored twice for Vancouver (22-46-8). Marco Rossi<\/a> and Jake DeBrusk<\/a> added power-play goals and Filip Hronek<\/a> had two assists. Nikita Tolopilo<\/a> stopped 17 shots for the Canucks, who have one win in their last nine games.<\/p>\n

The Canucks called up goaltender Jiri Patera<\/a> from Abbotsford of the AHL as the backup to replace Kevin Lankinen<\/a>, who was a late scratch. <\/p>\n

Before the opening faceoff there was a tribute to Vancouver native Evander Kane<\/a>, who returned to the lineup to play his 1,001st game after missing the last two games with an undisclosed injury. <\/p>\n
