Mikhail Sergachev - Dishes pair of assists Sergachev had two assists, including one on the power play, and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Sergachev has a goal and three helpers during a three-game point streak, his longest stretch of the season. The 28-year-old blueliner remains consistent on offense with a total of three goals, 10 assists, 29 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 11 outings this season. Sergachev's top-pairing role and spot on the first power-play unit for a dynamic Utah offense makes him a strong offensive defenseman in fantasy.

Vincent Trocheck - Lights lamp on power play Trocheck scored a power-play goal on four shots and added six hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Trocheck had gone three games without a goal prior to Thursday. The veteran center has settled into a middle-six role for the Mammoth early in the season, producing three goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-4 rating across 11 appearances. At that pace, he'll miss the 50-point mark for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign, though it's always possible Trocheck's offense improves as he gets more comfortable with his new team.

Logan Cooley - Tallies twice in loss Cooley scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Cooley's two goals came in the third period to wipe out a 3-1 deficit. He has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of 11 contests so far, including a trio of multi-point efforts. For the season, the 22-year-old center has three goals, eight assists, 13 shots on net, 14 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 11 outings. He's done most of his damage on the power play, where he has eight points.

Karel Vejmelka - Can't fend off Kraken Vejmelka allowed four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vejmelka took consecutive losses for the first time this season. He's allowed nine goals on 39 shots in those games. It's a little early in the campaign for workload to be a concern, but Vejmelka has only rested in full for two of the Mammoth's 11 games. He is 5-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .872 save percentage. Fantasy managers will hope he can get back to winning soon, but don't expect shining ratios from the veteran netminder. The Mammoth are slated to host the Lightning on Saturday in what would be a tough matchup should Vejmelka get the start.

Karel Vejmelka - Tending twine in Seattle Vejmelka will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Impact Vejmelka was pulled from his last start after giving up five goals on 17 shots against the Oilers. Sebastian Cossa was able to pick up a win over the Penguins in the next game, but Vejmelka will be back in a starting role Thursday. With five wins over eight appearances, Vejmelka remains a steady fantasy option even with middling ratios.

Michael Carcone - Lands on IR Carcone (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by the Mammoth on Tuesday.

Impact Carcone's shift to injured reserve was done in correspondence to the team's call up of Artyom Duda, who could be filling in for the injured John Marino (upper body). Prior to the IR move, the 30-year-old Carcone posted two points, 17 shots on net and 11 hits across five appearances. His placement on injured reserve leaves him out of the picture for at least another week, but he could have a chance to return prior to the end of October.

Kailer Yamamoto - Tickles twine in win Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Yamamoto started the year as a healthy scratch, but he's now played in five straight games. He's produced two goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating. That kind of offense makes it unlikely he comes out of the lineup anytime soon, and he may even be worth adding as a depth forward in fantasy. Yamamoto won't stay this hot since he's on the third line, but he's showing he can still contribute in the NHL.

Nate Schmidt - One of each in Monday's win Schmidt scored a goal, added an assist, doled out two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Schmidt has filled a top-four role for much of the season, though he's not seeing more than traces of power-play time. The 35-year-old defenseman hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since he had an assist Opening Night versus the Blackhawks. He's now at three points, 12 shots, 15 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 10 appearances on the year.

Kevin Stenlund - Collects two points in win Stenlund scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Stenlund delivered his first goal of the season and added his fourth assist, providing an unexpected offensive boost from Utah's bottom six. The veteran center logged just 13:43 of ice time, suggesting his opportunities to sustain this level of production remain limited. While the two-point outing was encouraging, his relatively modest offensive role makes him a better fit for deeper fantasy leagues than standard formats.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Cossa - Earns win despite allowing four goals Cossa stopped 14 of 18 shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Cossa secured the victory despite posting a disappointing .778 save percentage, and it was clear that he benefited from Utah's impressive offensive performance. The young netminder faced relatively little pressure for much of the contest but conceded twice in the third period as Pittsburgh threatened a comeback. Although the win provides some fantasy value, his limited save total and four goals allowed highlight the volatility of his early NHL opportunities. With Karel Vejmelka being a workhorse in the Mammoth's crease, Cossa's fantasy upside will be limited to specific matchups in which he gets an odd start. He's not a goaltender you'd be looking to roster in most formats, especially since he's posted a single-game save percentage below .800 in three of his four appearances.

Clayton Keller - Records two points Monday Keller scored a goal on one shot and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Keller scored his fourth goal of the season with a backhander to even things up at one goal apiece in the first period, and he'd later assist on the would-be winning goal in the early stages of the third frame. This was Keller's fifth multi-point effort of the season, and he's been a key contributor for Utah on offense with a co-team-high 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 10 games, matching Nick Schmaltz in that output.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Schmaltz - Credited with game-winning goal Monday Schmaltz scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact Schmaltz continued his impressive start to the campaign, scoring his seventh goal of the season while bringing his assist total to six through 10 games. The 30-year-old center has established himself as one of Utah's most productive offensive players, and his consistency is worth noting, as he has cracked the scoresheet in eight of his 10 appearances to start the campaign. His strong start has made Schmaltz a valuable asset across most formats, and his average of 3.1 shots per game suggests he'll remain a dangerous player even when he's not cracking the scoresheet.

John Marino - Dealing with UBI Marino is not an option for Monday's home matchup against Pittsburgh due to an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.

Impact Marino saw his usual allotment of ice time Saturday against the Oilers, so it's unclear when exactly he picked up the injury. Nick DeSimone will make his 2026-27 debut as a result of Marino's absence. The 29-year-old Marino will have a few days to attempt to be ready for Thursday's game in Seattle.
