Green flag: Their penalty kill
Only six teams allow fewer shorthanded goals than the Mammoth (5.62 per 60), and just one has been better at suppressing quality chances (6.9 expected goals per 60).
Red flag: Mediocrity from Mikhail Sergachev
If you’re optimistic about the Mammoth, some of that hinges on Sergachev playing like a No. 1 defenseman — and that hasn’t been the case so far. Utah is getting outscored 18-13 with him on the ice at five-on-five, and his expected goal share isn’t much better.
