SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Dylan Guenther scored a go-ahead power-play goal in the
third period and the Utah Mammoth beat the Seattle Kraken 5-3 on Friday night
to snap a three-game losing streak.
Nick Schmaltz had a goal and two assists, and Kailer Yamamoto, JJ Peterka, and
Lawson Crouse also scored for the Mammoth. Kevin Stenlund had three assists and
Karel Vejmelka stopped 32 shots.
Mason Marchment had two goals and Ben Meyers also scored for the Kraken in
their seventh loss in eight games. Phillipp Grubauer had 26 saves.
After a scoreless first period, Marchment put Seattle on the board with a
backhand shot at 3:35 of the second.
Schmaltz tied it at 8:09 with an unassisted goal. He attacked off a breakaway
and chipped the puck over Grubauer's shoulder from close range.
Yamamoto then gave Utah its first lead with 6:36 left in the middle period.
Seattle had several shots at an equalizer during a two-man advantage lasting
nearly two minutes, but the Kraken came up empty.
Marchment then got his second goal of the night and fourth of the season at
7:50 of the third, slapping the puck home from long distance to tie it.
Guenther gave Utah a 3-2 lead with 7:05 remaining, successfully converting a
power play.
Peterka and Crouse added empty netters over the final three minutes, and Meyers
scored for Seattle with 43 seconds to go for the final margin.
