Utah's NHL franchise began play in 2024 after relocating from Arizona, spending its debut season as Utah Hockey Club before adopting the Mammoth name and a tusked logo inspired by mammoth fossils found in the region. Based at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, the club carries no relocated franchise history, giving it a clean slate to build its own traditions in the Mountain West.
As of Nov 3, 2026, here are the most recently projected forward lines, defense pairings and power-play units for the Utah Mammoth. On the top line, the Utah Mammoth are currently projected to run left wing Clayton Keller, center Nick Schmaltz and right wing Dylan Guenther together, a trio expected to log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the roster, though without last change on the road it does not always draw the other team's top shutdown pairing. On the blue line, the top pairing is Mikhail Sergachev and MacKenzie Weegar, who typically log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the back end and face the toughest zone starts, though the team's primary penalty-kill pairing is not always the same duo. On the power play, the PP1 unit runs Nick Schmaltz, Logan Cooley, Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther and Mikhail Sergachev, the unit most teams send out first on a power play, though a delayed-penalty scramble already in progress or a late matchup change can put a different five over the boards. These combinations reflect pre-game reporting rather than real-time tracking, and can change between games and even between periods, so check the today's lines tool for the most current deployment before puck drop.

These projected lines are drawn from Daily Faceoff's pre-game reporting, typically beat writers covering morning skates and warmups before puck drop. They reflect the coaching staff's intended deployment rather than shift-by-shift tracking collected once a game is already underway, and can still shift between a morning skate and the opening faceoff.
Lines can change from game to game, and sometimes within a single game, as a coaching staff reacts to matchups, injuries, scoring droughts or chemistry.
