Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka finished Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks with a 27-save shutout. He became only the second goaltender in the league this season to shut out the Ducks, who average the third-most goals (3.48). Vejmelka, who registered his first shutout of the season, rebounded superbly after a rough outing against the San Jose Sharks on Monday, where he was pulled in the first period. The Mammoth's No. 1 now holds an 11-7-2 record for the season. Vejmelka boasts a solid 2.73 goals-against average, but he has managed only a .891 save percentage, which is one of the worst marks among regular starters in 2025-26.

Utah Mammoth winger JJ Peterkaled the demolition job in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, notching two goals and two assists. Peterka became the fourth Utah player with a four-point effort this season. Only the league-leading Colorado Avalanche (6) have more. After managing only six points in November, Peterka already has five points in two games this month. On Friday, the exciting winger gets a perfect matchup to maintain his hot form, as the Mammoth visit the Vancouver Canucks, who allow a league-worst 3.63 goals per game. After 28 outings, Peterka has posted 12 goals and 21 points for the season.

Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield posted a power-play assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Caufield's work helped Juraj Slafkovsky score Montreal's first goal midway through the second period. With the assist, Caufield extended his point streak to nine games. Currently, it's the longest active scoring streak in the league. The entire first line has heated up for the Canadiens. Slafkovsky made it on the score sheet for a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday night, and Nick Suzuki is riding a seven-game point streak. The trio will look to continue their success over the weekend during a back-to-back against Toronto and St. Louis. Caufield leads his team with 14 goals and has managed 29 points in 26 games.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov had his second multi-point performance in three games on Wednesday, finishing a 5-2 home win against the Buffalo Sabres with a pair of assists. He recorded a power-play helper on a Travis Konecny goal in the first period and had an even-strength assist when Owen Tippett capped off the scoring in the second. Recently, Michkov has enjoyed his best spell of the season, averaging a point per game over a five-game span. His role is expected to grow in the coming weeks, with Tyson Foerster (upper body) unavailable for at least a couple of months. Michkov has managed eight goals and 16 points in 26 games for the season.
