There’s a big difference between dominating in a rotation and dominating as a starter. In that regard, Jeremy Swayman is fully realizing his potential as a franchise goalie. While his first season as the de facto starter didn’t go great, Swayman is right back on track this time around.
21. Utah Mammoth, 13-12-3

In order for the Mammoth to be a playoff team, they needed to see their young duo — Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther — take a massive leap. Those two are taking a leap, just not the leap necessary so far. Both players have been much better at five-on-five in terms of production and possession, but their work on the power play has held them back significantly. It’s a baby step with positive signs for the future. But right now, Utah needs a mammoth-sized one.
