Deseret News • • sports
Key Points:
- Utah Mammoth coach André Tourigny enforces a strict "Midnight Rule," which means players can only celebrate a win until midnight before immediately focusing on preparing for the next game, regardless of the significance of the victory.
- The Mammoth recently won a close 3-2 game against the Vegas Golden Knights, with the series showing no clear favorite as both teams have had balanced control and games decided by minor mistakes.
- Utah’s second line, featuring Dylan Guenther, Logan Cooley, and Kailer Yamamoto, has been highly effective, controlling 90.9% of expected goals while on the ice, ranking as the second-best line in the playoffs.
- The series will continue with two games in Salt Lake City at the Delta Center, followed by a Game 5 back in Las Vegas, with strong fan engagement planned including watch parties, live entertainment, and giveaways.
- Mammoth players anticipate an energetic home crowd to boost momentum as they prepare to maintain their competitive edge in the intense playoff atmosphere.
