The Utah Mammoth will face the Vegas Golden Knights in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
I’m not saying they will win, but this is a series Utah could win.

Third line has been playing really well lately.
Combination of Kerfoot, Peterka, & Carcone has been really hard for teams to handle.
So much vision and speed out there. Lots of crafty plays.

CARCONE SCORES FROM THE SLOT AND UTAH TIES THE HOCKEY GAME!

St. Louis is challenging for goaltender interference. https://t.co/CfPge6N9S8

Goaltender interference confirmed. No goal.
Pretty sure O’Brien scored anyway even though Tanev reacted like he did.
We’ll never know. https://t.co/BwIbfU83P8

Well offside. https://t.co/ZXm0xY4NkA
