SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Mammoth wouldn’t be stopped on Tuesday night, battling back from a 3-1 first-period deficit to earn a 6-5 OT win.
The Mammoth (41-30-6, 88 points) is hosting Edmonton (39-29-10, 88 points) at the Delta Center on Tuesday, April 7.
Edmonton opened the day tied with Anaheim atop the Pacific Division. Utah maintains the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference, three points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings.

Utah hopes the third time is the charm as it seeks its first win against Edmonton this season.
The Oilers have outscored Utah 11-5 in two meetings this year. Connor McDavid scored the game-winner, his fourth of the season series, in a 5-2 win at Delta Center in late March.
Utah is 19-14-3 at home, while the Oilers are 18-15-5 on the road.

Optional skate but Karel Vejmelka is the first goaltender off the ice this morning.
That indicates he should start against Edmonton tonight.#TusksUp #LetsGoOilers

Per Tourigny, Utah will have some game time decisions up front and on the blue line.#TusksUp #LetsGoOilers

Weegar is back in.
Utah also rolling with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen against the Oilers.

McDavid scores a brilliant goal all by himself on the power play.
2-1 Oilers.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Utah’s third line has been their best so far tonight as they’ve consistently pinned Edmonton in their own zone, scored a goal, and generated some other dangerous chances.
Several of the players emphasized trapping Edmonton tonight. The other lines need to find a way.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Oilers score off the rush.
3-1 Edmonton.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
3 goals on 6 shots in the first period…Utah needs to consider a goaltender change here.

Oilers back to full strength. https://t.co/6mGHaWuGzW

Edmonton is playing incredibly disruptive hockey tonight against Utah.
Active sticks and punishing hits every single time Utah enters the offensive zone which is prohibiting much offense. They’ve also shut down two near breakaways.

Edmonton back to full strength.
Not much going Utah’s way since Peterka’s early goal. https://t.co/tc86GmNhpR

SCHMALTZ SCORES FROM THE LOW SLOT AND UTAH CUTS INTO THE LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3-2!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
This is Mammoth hockey right here.
Pucks in deep, fierce on the forecheck, winning battles, effective reload, and then allow skill/speed to take over.
Huge hit by Crouse. What a pass by Keller. pic.twitter.com/XrpZdEO6oG

Oilers score.
4-3 Edmonton.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
One of the toughest things about Edmonton is they are always a threat to score.
Just when you think you’ve swung the momentum in your favor, they answer before you’re even done celebrating the previous goal.
So fast. So difficult to contain.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Weegar is forced to hook McDavid on a quick rush.
Unfortunate situation. Smart penalty.
Oilers to the power play.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
SCHMALTZ SCORES A SHORTY AND THE GAME IS TIED ONCE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Look, beating Edmonton is rarely going to be pretty but you must be opportunistic.
HUGE goal by Schmaltz to tie the game once again.
It all comes down to the third. https://t.co/9PIqx3iife

Oilers score on a rebound.
5-4 Edmonton.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Utah dictating the pace over the last few minutes.
Playing their style. Just haven’t been able to find the back of the net despite a plethora of chances.

KERFOOT TIPS ONE IN AND UTAH TIES THE GAME IN THE THIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Third line has been absolutely unreal tonight.
Getting a lot of well-deserved ice time. They’ve been relentless in the offensive zone.
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Regulation ends in a tie.
Both teams get a point.
Off to OT. Who plays hero tonight?
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026
Cooley is tripped and Utah will head to the power play in OT.
4 on 3.

Utah just beat Edmonton for the first time in their history.
