Vegas Golden Knights vs Calgary Flames
Digest more
The Utah Mammoth beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 on Wednesday evening in Salt Lake City, giving the Flames their fourth consecutive defeat.
The Calgary Flames are missing one of their biggest offensive contributors in a big way early into the 2025-26 season.
They got it - through Barrett Hayton - then JJ Peterka gave the Mammoth the lead on a breakaway after pouncing on a loose puck at his own blue line. But thanks to Cooley, the Flames hung around, and had a glorious chance in the dying embers of the frame on a partial breakaway from Morgan Frost.
Backup goaltender Devin Cooley made an overwhelmingly positive first impression, but his heroics weren’t enough as the offensively-challenged Flames lost their fourth in a row.
BOTTOM LINE: The Calgary Flames aim to stop their three-game losing streak with a win against the Utah Mammoth. Utah had a 38-31-13 record overall and an 18-15-8 record in home games last season. The Mammoth scored 240 total goals last season, with 57 power-play goals and four shorthanded goals.

Flames starting strong, fading late early this NHL season
The line of Coleman, Mikael Backlund and Samuel Honzek did a solid job early of containing Golden Knights star Jack Eichel on Tuesday, but the latter scored his first midway through the second period when that Flames trio was on the bench. Backlund and Coleman were Calgary’s first-period goal scorers.
