Barrett Hayton - Scratched Wednesday Hayton (undisclosed) was serving as a healthy scratch against Anaheim on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

Impact The reason for Hayton's absence wasn't immediately clear prior to puck drop, but it seems the 25-year-old center was perfectly healthy and being held out as a healthy scratch. Considering the Mammoth came away with a 7-0 victory over the Ducks, Hayton could face an uphill battle getting back into the lineup versus Vancouver on Friday.

Maveric Lamoureux - Posts helper in season debut Lamoureux recorded an assist, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact This was Lamoureux's first outing with the Mammoth this season after racking up nine helpers in 19 games with AHL Tucson. The 21-year-old will get a chance to establish himself as a physical presence in a bottom-four role after the Mammoth decided Dmitri Simashev needed some developmental time with the Roadrunners. Lamoureux had three points in 15 games for Utah last season, and he could chip in enough offense to be intriguing in fantasy if he sticks in the lineup over Nick DeSimone.

Sean Durzi - First point since return Durzi logged an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact The helper was Durzi's first point in five games since he recovered from an upper-body injury that cost him six weeks. The 27-year-old blueliner has two helpers, 10 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating over seven appearances this season. While his numbers aren't all that great, Durzi is still seeing top-four usage and time on the second power-play unit.

Jack McBain - Bags two apples McBain notched two assists, two shots on goal, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact McBain doesn't have games like this all the time, though the physicality is a constant for him. The 25-year-old center has earned four points over his last seven outings. He's up to seven points, 37 shots on net, 85 hits, 23 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 28 appearances overall. While he saw 18:03 of ice time in this blowout win, he's more often utilized as a third-line option for his gritty all-around play.

Nick Schmaltz - Dishes pair of helpers Schmaltz logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Schmaltz put an end to his eight-game point drought in this contest. The 29-year-old has been centering the top line over the last two games, playing between Clayton Keller and JJ Peterka. There's a lot of scoring potential for that trio, and Schmaltz has some experience down the middle despite mainly playing as a winger. For the season, he's logged 10 goals, 14 helpers, 66 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances.

Liam O'Brien - Checks in, gets goal O'Brien scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact O'Brien was in the lineup over Brandon Tanev in this contest, and the former made the most of his rare chance to play. Through nine outings this season, O'Brien has two goals, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-4 rating. He was a scratch for six games prior to Wednesday, and he's likely to max out as a rotation fourth-line option the Mammoth utilize whenever they need some toughness.

Lawson Crouse - Finds twine again Crouse scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Crouse has three goals over two games in December, matching his total from all of November. The 28-year-old winger should continues to get some looks in a middle-six role. For the season, he's at seven goals, 12 points, 47 shots on net, 70 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. He's well on his way to surpassing his totals of 12 goals and 18 points from 81 outings a year ago, but he is more likely to land in the 30-35 point range rather than the 40-plus he put up in 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Ian Cole - Good all-around effort in big win Cole scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots, logged two PIM and went plus-5 in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Cole is rarely a big contributor on offense, but he was right in the middle of a breakout performance for the Mammoth. He set up Dylan Guenther on the team's second goal before scoring the third one himself. Through 28 appearances, Cole is at two goals, 11 points, 23 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating. He's been a bottom-four fixture in the lineup, but he's on track to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Dylan Guenther - Two-point effort in win Guenther scored a goal on five shots, dished a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Guenther put the Mammoth ahead 2-0 in the first period and set up a JJ Peterka tally in the third. With two goals and four assists over his last six outings, Guenther is starting to heat up on offense again. The 22-year-old winger has produced 10 goals, 21 points, 97 shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 28 appearances. He's on pace for another 60-point campaign, though it took him just 70 games to reach that mark in 2024-25, so there could be more offense to come if he goes on an extended hot stretch.

Clayton Keller - Collects three points Wednesday Keller scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, went plus-3 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Keller earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 12 versus the Sabres. The 27-year-old forward has struggled to find his usual consistency, but Wednesday's effort could be a springboard to stronger offense for him. He's at nine goals, 16 helpers, eight power-play points, 84 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 28 appearances this season.

JJ Peterka - Racks up four points in win Peterka scored twice on six shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Peterka's second goal came on the power play, his first contribution with the man advantage all season. The winger has five points over two contests to begin December, which is just one point less than he had in all of November. The 23-year-old is up to 12 goals, 21 points, 60 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances. If he stays on the top line, his offense should continue to surge.

Karel Vejmelka - Secures first shutout of season Vejmelka posted a 27-save shutout in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Vejmelka was held winless over his previous three outings, so this was a good bounce-back effort. The 29-year-old got plenty of support from a roster that saw a bit of rotation following Monday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks. Vejmelka's first shutout of the season moved him to 11-7-2 with a 2.73 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 21 starts. He'll likely start one of the next two games -- either Friday in Vancouver or Saturday in Calgary -- while Vitek Vanecek can be penciled in for the other game. Both are good matchups for Vejmelka to start rebuilding some positive momentum.

Barrett Hayton - Won't play versus Ducks Hayton will not be in the lineup against Anaheim on Wednesday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Impact The reason behind Hayton's absence was immediately available, though it's possible he is serving as a healthy scratch, considering he has just one point in his last 15 outings. Regardless, with the 25-year-old center out of the lineup, Daniil But is expected to make his NHL debut versus the Ducks.
