Vitek Vanecek Helps Mammoth Overcome Panthers

Utah Mammoth won 4-3 with Sergachev’s late goal and strong goaltending by Vitek Vanecek; Florida Panthers went 0-for-4 on the power play, ending their three-game winning streak.

  • On Tuesday night in Sunrise, the Utah Mammoth defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3 after Mikhail Sergachev scored with 8:55 left and Barrett Hayton added an empty-net goal.
  • Nick Schmaltz opened the scoring with an unassisted short-handed goal at 4:14 after skating alone from near his blue line; it was the second short-handed goal of his career amid a 14-game streak.
  • With 25 saves, Vitek Vanecek and Sean Durzi’s assist helped preserve the Utah Mammoth’s win despite playing without top goal-scorer Dylan Guenther due to a lower-body injury.
  • The Panthers' missed special-teams chances, going scoreless on four power plays, limited their ability to rally after Verhaeghe's 16-second goal pulled them within 4.
  • A.J. Greer hit a career milestone as Sandis Vilmanis scored his first NHL goal in his ninth game, and both teams head into Thursday games: Panthers at St. Louis, Mammoth at Carolina.
