The Anaheim Ducks suffered a humbling defeat against the Utah Mammoth, losing six to zero. Despite their previous road trip success, they failed to secure a victory, allowing their division lead to dwindle. Utah, on the other hand, secured a much-needed win, climbing back into wild card contention. The Ducks goaltending situation was a significant challenge, with both starters and backups injured. Ville Husso started for the second consecutive game but was pulled after the second period. Vyacheslav Buteyets made his NHL debut in relief. Utahs goalie, Karel Vejmelka, had an outstanding game, earning his first shutout of the season. The Ducks struggled with their offensive and defensive play, committing routine errors and failing to adapt to Utahs energetic strategy. They must quickly regroup to face the Washington Capitals, who are currently on a six-game winning streak.
