EDMONTON – Clayton Keller scored a pair of goals as the Utah Mammoth emerged with a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.
Barrett Hayton and Logan Cooley also scored for the Mammoth (6-2-0), who have won three straight.
Karel Vejmelka stopped 21 shots to earn the win.
Leon Draisaitl and Shakir Mukhamadullin replied for the Oilers (5-1-1), who saw a five-game winning streak halted.
Edmonton was missing five starting forwards and a defenceman.
Devon Levi made 20 saves for Edmonton.
Takeaways
Mammoth: Utah should be pleased that they matched the offer sheet tendered by the New Jersey Devils for Hayton in the off-season. Hayton scored his first of the season and extended his points streak to five games.
Oilers: Connor McDavid picked up an assist to extend his season-starting points streak to seven games. He now has four goals and 14 assists for a league-leading 18 points on the campaign, his best-ever start to a season.
Key moment
Just 23 seconds after Draisaitl got Edmonton finally on the board at 13:54 of the second period, Vincent Trocheck sent it in front to a hard-charging Cooley, who directed in his first of the season to restore Utah’s two-goal lead at 3-1.
Key stat
Edmonton came into the contest with a 5-0-1 record against the Mammoth and outscoring them 31-16. Edmonton was also 3-0-0 all-time at home against Utah, outscoring the Mammoth 17-5.
Up next
The two teams have a rematch on Saturday night in Utah.
