SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Clayton Keller scored on a power play 33 seconds into
overtime to lift the Utah Mammoth to a 6-5 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on
Tuesday night.
Alexander Kerfoot forced overtime with 7:04 left in regulation after tapping in
a long feed from Sean Durzi, setting the stage for Utah to claim its first win
over Edmonton.
Nick Schmaltz scored twice in the second period to rally the Mammoth from a
two-goal deficit. JJ Peterka and Logan Cooley also scored, and Karel Vejmelka
had 21 saves.
Curtis Lazar, Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Vasily Podkolzin, and Colton
Dach scored for the Oilers, who lost their second straight. Tristan Jarry made
25 stops.
Utah opened the scoring in the first when Peterka converted a feed from Ian
Cole at the 1:53 mark. Edmonton then scored three straight in the period. Lazar
beat two defenders and slid the puck underneath Vejmelka with a well-timed
backhand shot for an equalizer 11 seconds after Peterka.
McDavid put the Oilers ahead at the 8:56 mark when scored on the power play.
Nugent-Hopkins extended the lead with 5:17 left in the first.
Utah scored three times in the second period with two goals by Schmaltz and
another by Cooley. Podkolzin scored at 16:06 and the teams were tied at 4 after
two periods.
Dach collected the puck off a blocked shot and scored a second-chance goal to
give Edmonton a 5-4 lead at the 2:10 mark of the third period.
