Utah Mammoth

Current Form

The relocation and rebranding seem to have benefited Arizona, as the team is delivering impressive preseason performances and barely falling short against their opponents. So far, the only loss for Utah in five matches came against Vegas with a score of 2-5. In this match, the defense struggled to handle the pressure from the Golden Knights, and the goalies were unable to perform up to expectations.

Turin's squad has already made a complete comeback in front of their fans, dominating Colorado with a score of 6-3, and then convincingly defeating San Jose 3-1. It’s noteworthy that both of these matches were played on the road.
