Utah Mammoth defenseman Nate Schmidt celebrates after scoring a second period goal against the Dallas Stars during an NHL hockey game Monday, March 16, 2026, in Dallas. Alexander Kerfoot and Logan Cooley scored two goals each, Mikhail Sergachev tied a franchise single-game record with four assists, and the Utah Mammoth beat the Los Angeles Kings 6-2 on Saturday night.

Nick Schmaltz and Jack McBain also scored, Karel Vejmelka made 29 saves, as the Mammoth avoided a second losing streak of at least three games in March. Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe scored for the Kings, who have won one of their last six games. Darcy Kuemper allowed five goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Anton Forsberg to start the third period. Forsberg made 11 saves in relief. The Mammoth continued their charge toward a playoff berth when Kerfoot opened the scoring 2:31 into the game, followed by two goals from Cooley late in the first period. Cooley struck on the power play to pick up his second with less than nine seconds remaining, canceling out any momentum Los Angeles had when Kopitar got them on the board two minutes earlier. Utah is now five points ahead of Nashville for the first wild-card berth in the Western Conference, which would put them against the Pacific Division in the postseason and away from the Central Division powerhouse trio of Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota. The Kings started a critical seven-game homestand with a chance to move into the second wild-card spot ahead of the Predators — a team they face twice next week — but instead face planted with a dismal showing. Special teams was particularly dire for Los Angeles, giving up two goals on the penalty kill plus an even-strength tally to Kerfoot shortly after its own power play expired midway through the second period.Passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight departing Salt Lake City said their plane was held on the tarmac for nearly an hour to wait for a late-arriving passengerA crash has forced the closure of Mountain View Corridor in West Valley City.Northbound Mountain View was shut down at 4100 South shortly before 1:30 p.m. SatuNine people were injured, and a child was killed, after Ogden police said a 14-year-old driver fled from officers in Weber County.Officials with the Ogden City"No Kings" rallies returned to Utah, including Salt Lake City, where protesters gathered at Washington Square Park before marching to the state Capitol.Salt LakHeavy delays are expected along Interstate 15 in South Salt Lake following a crash.Utah Department of Transportation officials said the crash occurred in the no
