Edmonton had entered the game 5-0-1 all-time against Utah, but the Mammoth ended that dominance behind two goals from Clayton Keller.
The Utah Mammoth defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Thursday night, snapping Edmonton's five-game winning streak and handing the Oilers their first home loss to Utah in franchise history. Clayton Keller scored twice for the Mammoth, with Barrett Hayton and Logan Cooley adding goals as Utah (6-2-0) extended its winning streak to three games.
Leon Draisaitl and Shakir Mukhamadullin scored for the Oilers (5-1-1), who were missing five starting forwards and a defenceman. Connor McDavid extended his points streak to seven games, reaching 18 points on the season, and praised Utah's balanced lineup after the game.
Mammoth head coach Andre Tourigny credited his team's structure and physical play, while Hayton, who matched an offer sheet from the New Jersey Devils in the off-season, extended his points streak to five games. Cooley said the win gives Utah confidence it can compete with any team in the league this season.
