The Utah Mammoth suffered a disappointing 4–1 loss to the Calgary Flames, jeopardizing their position in the Western Conference playoff race. Calgary dominated early, with goals from Matt Coronato and Connor Zary, and later added scores from Mikael Backlund and Brayden Pachal. Lawson Crouse’s late goal provided little consolation, as Utah struggled without starting goaltender Karel Vejmelka. With crucial games against the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues ahead, the Mammoth’s playoff cushion feels precarious.
