Logan Cooley Shines as Mammoth Win Sixth Straight, 6-2

UPDATE: In a stunning display of skill, Logan Cooley scored twice within the first 3:29 as the Utah Mammoth dominated the Minnesota Wild 6-2 on July 15, 2023, marking their sixth consecutive victory.

Just 56 seconds into the game at St. Paul, Minnesota, Cooley opened the scoring with an impressive backhand goal, sending the Mammoth to an early 1-0 lead. This performance comes just two days after Cooley netted a hat trick against the St. Louis Blues.

Cooley struck again, capitalizing on a power play at the 3:29 mark, taking advantage of a penalty against Minnesota’s Yakov Trenin. Nick Schmaltz quickly followed up with his sixth goal of the season, extending the lead to 3-0 just under five minutes into the first period.

However, Minnesota’s Marcus Johansson ignited a spark for the Wild, scoring two goals. Johansson, who had only one goal this season prior to this game, put Minnesota on the scoreboard with a powerful one-timer at 4:21 left in the first period. He added his second goal late in the second period during a power play, narrowing the margin to 3-2.

The Mammoth responded with authority. JJ Peterka pushed the score to 4-2 with just under 6:23 remaining in the third period, followed by Schmaltz scoring his second goal to make it 5-2. Remarkably, Schmaltz has now tallied seven goals in his last five games.

Mammoth goalie Karel Vejmelka delivered a stellar performance, making 32 saves to secure the win. John Marino sealed the game with an empty-netter with just 5.1 seconds left on the clock.

As the Mammoth gear up to extend their winning streak to seven, they will face the Winnipeg Jets tomorrow. Fans are eagerly awaiting this upcoming clash, hoping for another electrifying performance from their team.
