Impact But has five goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The winger has earned 28 points (14 goals, 14 helpers) over 31 appearances in the AHL this season.

Two goals in AHL win But scored twice in AHL Tucson's 6-4 win over San Jose on Sunday.

Impact But has three goals and two assists over his last five games.

But is at 11 goals, 22 points and 69 shots on net over 25 AHL appearances.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors But was assigned to AHL Tucson on Friday.

Impact But was called up by Utah on Tuesday, but he'll head back to the minors a few days later, presumably so he can appear in the Roadrunners' weekend series against Ontario. But has appeared in 28 NHL games this year, but it's not yet clear whether he'll rejoin the Mammoth before the team resumes play against Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact But spent the past two months with the Mammoth, and he recorded three goals, four assists, 18 blocked shots and 16 hits while averaging 12:35 of ice time over 28 appearances with the NHL club. His move to the minors will allow him to continue to see playing time in the AHL during the Olympic break.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in Tuesday's win But scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, doled out four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact But earned his first multi-point game in the NHL with this effort. He set up JJ Peterka in the second period before scoring the last goal of the contest at 16:54 of the third. But has shown some promise so far, but he's been limited to six points, 32 shots on net, 11 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances. The 20-year-old is a better option in dynasty formats than redraft leagues.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Pots goal in win But scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

Impact But provided an insurance tally in the third period. This was his second NHL tally, though he had gone six games without a point since his first career goal. Despite the slump, the 20-year-old winger has maintained his place on the Mammoth's third line. But is at four points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances to begin his NHL career.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first goal But scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

Impact But has now picked up three points, all on the power play, over his last four games. His tally Friday, at 9:35 of the first period, was his first NHL goal, but he's already looking like he'll have some staying power with the big club. But is up to 22 shots on net, nine hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over his first 11 appearances.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs first career point But registered a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact But's helper on the second of Michael Carcone's two goals in the game was the former's first NHL point. Over seven outings, But has mainly seen third-line usage, racking up 13 shots on net, four hits and four blocked shots while averaging 11:47 of ice time.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from minors But was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.

Impact The Mammoth assigned Dmitri Simashev to the Roadrunners in a corresponding transaction. But, the No. 12 overall pick in 2023, has yet to make his NHL debut, but that could be forthcoming if Utah wants to shake some things up due to the team's current four-game losing streak. The Russian winger has played well in the minors this season, producing eight goals and 17 points across 19 outings.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hat trick in Saturday's win But scored three goals on eight shots in AHL Tucson's 4-3 overtime win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Impact But sealed the hat trick at 1:30 of overtime. The 20-year-old has eight points over his last four games, giving him seven goals and 13 points through 12 outings overall. He's already proving his talent in the AHL, though he's also shooting 21.2 percent, which is likely an unsustainable pace even in a league he seems to be outmatching already.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three points in overtime loss But scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime loss to Iowa on Sunday.

Impact But has gotten on the scoresheet in six of his first 10 AHL games. The 20-year-old winger has four goals, five assists, 24 shots on net and a plus-2 rating so far for the Roadrunners. He had a strong training camp with the Mammoth and was one of their last cuts, so if he continues to impress in the AHL, it shouldn't be too long before he makes his NHL debut.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in Tucson's win But scored two goals in AHL Tucson's 5-1 win over Bakersfield on Friday.

Impact But has three goals and two assists over five games to begin his first AHL campaign. The talented 20-year-old probably won't need too much time in the AHL, as he already has professional experience in his native Russia. At this point, it's more about the Mammoth finding space for him in the NHL, though they'll likely want to see him sustain his hot start over a longer stretch.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to AHL Tucson But was assigned to the AHL Tucson Roadrunners on Monday.

Impact While Utah fans are clamoring to see But with the big club, he'll at least start the season in the AHL. While expectations remain high for the #12 pick in the 2023 NHL draft, Utah looks willing to take it slow with the 20-year-old's development. Given his size, track record, and solid showing in the preseason, we'll likely see him in a Utah sweater sooner rather than later.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to play But (illness) will be in the lineup for Saturday's preseason finale.

Impact After skipping Friday's practice due to an illness, But will make his fifth appearance of the preseason. He has two goals and one assist through four exhibition outings this year. But will likely begin the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Tucson.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Head coach Andre Tourigny said Friday that But is dealing with an illness, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports.

Impact But didn't participate in Friday's practice session, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason finale against San Jose. The exact nature of his illness isn't yet clear, but regardless of whether he plays Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the mix to return for Thursday's Opening Night matchup against Colorado.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks three-year deal But signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Mammoth on Wednesday.

Impact But was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He had nine goals and 28 points across 54 regular-season outings with the KHL's Yaroslavl Lokomotiv in 2024-25. The 20-year-old is a big forward at 6-foot-6 and already has plenty of experience playing against men after logging 124 career regular-season KHL games and another 33 playoff outings in that league. Although he might still start his North American career in the AHL, But should be given every chance to earn a roster spot during training camp.

MAY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid work in KHL But has nine goals and 24 points in 47 outings with KHL Yaroslavl this season.

Impact That's a modest increase over the 21 points (10 goals) in 55 regular-season appearances But provided with Yaroslavl in 2023-24. But is a Utah prospect, selected by Arizona with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old forward is a towering presence at 6-foot-6 and might eventually use that size to his advantage in a middle-six role in Utah. However, he's likely still years away from reaching his full potential.
