Key Storylines
Recent Form
Utah enters this game with an 8‑4‑0 record. They are scoring 3.50 goals per game and allowing 2.83 per game this season. But they have lost two games in a row to the Edmonton Oilers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Mammoth will try to rebound and avoid a third straight loss here.
Buffalo sits at 5‑4‑3 this season, averaging 3.00 goals per game and 3.17 goals against. They got a shootout win over the Washington Capitals in their last game and will try to build on that result on home ice here.
Goaltending
Utah’s goalie tandem has posted a 2.83 GAA this season. Veteran netminder Karel Vejmelka alone has turned in a solid 2.79 GAA and has been credited with six wins so far. He is expected to get the start again tonight for Utah.
Buffalo’s goaltending has been less consistent, with the team allowing 3.17 goals against per game. Alex Lyon has been the best option for them with a 2.90 GAA, but everything in the defensive zone needs to be better for the Sabres.
Key Skaters
Utah: Center Logan Cooley has eight goals and 12 points so far this season. Forward Nick Schmaltz leads the Mammoth in assists with 10 and points with 17. Both have been big reasons for Utah’s strong start to this campaign.
