Seattle — The Utah Mammoth rallied from a 2-0 first-period deficit to score six consecutive goals and defeat the Seattle Kraken 6-2 on Thursday as Logan Cooley scored twice and Karel Vejmelka made 25 saves. The win improved Utah’s standing in the Western Conference wild-card chase, with the team reported at 39-30-6; power-play success (4 of 6) and continued scoring depth, including a later Clayton Keller hat trick in Vancouver, extended their road-trip momentum this week.
