Even if you cheer for the Edmonton Oilers, who lost the back-and-forth contest 6-5, you must have been on the edge of your seat all night long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">It had a little bit of everything: beautiful goals, hard hits, big saves and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/sports\/2026\/04\/07\/utah-mammoth-zamboni-zammoth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/sports\/2026\/04\/07\/utah-mammoth-zamboni-zammoth\/\">wacky but awesome Zamboni<\/a>. And those inside the Delta Center might need to visit the audiologist afterwards because it was as loud as it has ever been.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cYou get the rally towels and the whiteout, or whatever it is, and it\u2019s pretty fun. (The fans) are super into it and we want to bring a playoff series to Utah, so we\u2019re doing everything we can,\u201d said Mammoth forward Nick Schmaltz, whose two goals on the evening pushed his point streak to five games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The truth is that there\u2019s a high likelihood Utah and Edmonton meet at some point this postseason, whether it\u2019s in the first round or the second. Tourigny declined to comment on what the matchup would look like, but the two recent meetings between these teams have had the intensity of playoff games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">So, what have the Mammoth learned about the Oilers that could help them in April or May? Here are a few things.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Clayton Keller snipes one top cheese to win it.<\/p>\n<p>What. A. Game.<\/p>\n<p>Utah beats Edmonton for the first time in franchise history. Final score: 6-5 UTA.<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TusksUp?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#TusksUp<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LetsGoOilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#LetsGoOilers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brogan Houston (@houston_brogan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/houston_brogan\/status\/2041732917018415168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>1. Keep the pressure on, no matter what<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">After the first period of Tuesday\u2019s game, the Mammoth faced a two-goal deficit. Against a team like the Oilers, their odds at winning weren\u2019t high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">But hockey games are not decided by betting odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Utah came back with a strong second period. They weren\u2019t perfect, and found themselves facing deficits several times after tying it up, but they stuck with it to force overtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cIt was 3-1, and (I) never felt our guys\u2019 confidence went away,\u201d Tourigny said after the game. \u201cWe were just resilient. They knew we were playing well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Now, they can learn from Edmonton\u2019s mistake there as well. With a one-goal lead and roughly 10 minutes to go in the third period, the Oilers sat back and tried to defend, rather than killing the clock with offensive zone possession time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Ironically, that\u2019s the style of play that has gotten the Oilers past the Los Angeles Kings in the first round all these years in a row \u2014 except they were on the attacking side in those situations. The Kings would get out to a lead and then sit back, allowing the Oilers scoring chance after scoring chance, and it always seemed to be the difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">So, whether you\u2019re winning or losing, you can\u2019t take your foot off the gas.<\/p>\n<p>2. Find a way to fend off McDavid<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">If there was a good way to guard Connor McDavid, every team would do it. But you won\u2019t beat the Oilers if you can\u2019t find a way to at least contain him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Mikhail Sergachev became the latest of many high-profile defenseman to get beaten by the superstar. He bit too early and got caught chasing, allowing McDavid to add yet another highlight-reel goal to his repertoire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A Mammoth player mentioned in a conversation after morning skate on Tuesday that at one point, a teammate had decided to cover McDavid man-on-man, rather than playing zone defense. It didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">But the one team that has been able to beat the Oilers in the playoffs the last two years is the Florida Panthers. Kevin Stenlund was a major part of that for the 2024 Panthers squad, playing on the first penalty kill unit. Nate Schmidt and V\u00edtek Van\u011b\u010dek were there last year, and while neither one was necessarily tasked with defending McDavid single-handedly, they both would have attended all the video sessions where they found strategies to minimize his effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">If they can pull out some of those stops in the event of a playoff matchup, they could do just enough to win the necessary games.<\/p>\n<p>3. Don\u2019t be afraid to shoot the puck<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Between the four goalies dressed for Tuesday\u2019s game \u2014 Tristan Jarry, Karel Vejmelka, Connor Ingram and V\u00edtek Van\u011b\u010dek, none of them are above a .900 save percentage this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Put the puck on net and good things happen, as every youth hockey coach says on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">That\u2019s been a key focus of the Mammoth in this recent stretch, particularly on the power play, which is now on a six-game goal scoring streak after nearly a full season at the bottom of the league. The results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cWe just have a different swagger on the PP right now,\u201d said Clayton Keller, who scored the overtime winner on the power play on Tuesday. \u201cEvery single guy, when they touch the puck, it\u2019s like we\u2019re in attack mode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Schmaltz added his thoughts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re a veteran group that\u2019s won a lot of playoff games, so it\u2019s fun to play against those teams. It\u2019s a good test to see where we\u2019re at,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cAnd you know we\u2019re probably going to be running into them at some point, so it\u2019s a fun matchup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.70;background-color:#F3F1F0;cursor:pointer\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\"
