VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Interstat) — The Utah Mammoth and Vancouver Canucks, two teams seeking consistency, will meet Friday night at Rogers Arena in a matchup of Western Conference opponents. The visiting Mammoth (13-15) arrive after a dominant 7-0 road victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. JJ Peterka led the charge with two goals and two assists, while goaltender Karel Vejmelka stopped all 27 shots he faced for the shutout. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Utah, which had been outscored 11-3 in those contests. Vancouver (10-17) returns home after a 3-1 loss in Colorado on Tuesday, concluding a 1-3-0 road trip. Linus Karlsson scored the lone goal for the Canucks, who have lost four of their last five games overall. Defense has been an issue, as Vancouver has allowed three or more goals in eight of its last ten outings. Friday’s game pits Utah’s recent explosive offense against a Vancouver team struggling to keep pucks out of its net. The Mammoth will look to carry their momentum from the Anaheim rout, while the Canucks aim to leverage home ice to tighten their defensive structure. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the projected final score is 2-1 in favor of Vancouver. The Canucks host the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Utah continues its road trip in Calgary the same night.
