NHL Midseason Shockers: Which Teams Are Soaring and Which Are Stumbling as Playoffs Loom?
Utah Mammoth: C+
Boasting an impressive collection of young talent and robust analytics last season, the Mammoth were a popular pick to break out in 2025-26. Unfortunately, it hasn’t come together yet — Utah is on pace for 89 points, which would tie last year’s total. Utah’s young players haven’t taken the leap to superstar status yet, the power play is ranked 31st, and secondary scoring remains underwhelming. The good news is Utah still sits in the first wild-card spot because of how poor the West is, and the team has maintained a respectable record lately despite Logan Cooley’s injury. — Harman Dayal
