Nick Schmaltz has hat trick in 5-point game, Mammoth beat Canucks 6-2
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Nick Schmaltz had his second hat trick of the season
and added two assists for a five-point game in the Utah Mammoth's 6-2 victory
over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.
Schmaltz had his third career NHL hat trick to push his season goals total to
22, one shy of his career high set with Arizona in 2021-22.
JJ Peterka scored his 20th of the season, John Marino had a goal and two
assists and Mikhail Sergachev also scored to help Utah end a two-game losing
streak. Karel Vejmelka made 21 saves.
Schmaltz scored twice in the first as Utah took a 2-1 lead. In the second,
Sergachev connected on a power play and Marino and Peterka pushed the advantage
to 5-1. Schmaltz completed the hat trick with 7:38 left in the third, scoring
off a feed from Clayton Keller on a break.
Liam Ohgren and Teddy Blueger scored for Vancouver. Kevin Lankinen stopped 14
shots.
Vancouver has only two victories in its last 18 games --- both on an eight-game
homestand that ended Saturday night with a 3-2 shootout loss to Toronto.
