Utah didn't need flashy overtime heroics this time around. Guenther launched one into the back of the net earlier in the game to get the Mammoth on the board. Vegas answered back, but Cooley's clutch third period strike proved to be the difference maker. The Golden Knights couldn't find a way to tie it up and push this one to OT, which means the Mammoth are heading home with real confidence.
Series Is Wide Open Now
Vegas came in as heavy favorites, but Utah showed up ready to play. By stealing Game 2, the Mammoth sent a message: this series is far from over. Both teams have won a game now, and the momentum shifts back to Utah's home ice. Game 3 is coming, and you better believe both squads are going to bring everything they've got.
