The Utah Mammoth and the Road to 100 Points

Bill Armstrong said it out loud: the Utah Mammoth want 100 points next season. The question is whether this roster can actually do it.On this episode of SLC Puck, Austin breaks down the real roadmap after Utah finished 43-33-6 with 92 points last year. Even with the NHL moving to an 84-game schedule, Utah’s same 0.561 points percentage would only get them to about 94.2 points. That means the Mammoth still need to find roughly six more points somewhere, and that’s where this gets interesting.Austin looks at where Utah stole points last season against teams like Colorado, Dallas, Vegas, and Toronto, and where they flat-out gave points away against bad teams. The big offenders? A winless season series against the Chicago Blackhawks, a rough showing against the Calgary Flames, and dropped points against the San Jose Sharks. He also maps out the season month by month, with a brutal October and November, a critical January-February window, and a tough finish in March and April.There’s also a bigger conversation here about risk: Vinnie Trocheck needing to justify the move, Sebastian Cossa needing to be better than Vitek Vanecek in backup duty, and the young core like Logan Cooley, Dylan Guenther, Clayton Keller, and Nick Schmaltz needing to stay healthy. If Utah is going to hit 100, they have to stop donating points and start punishing weak teams.SLC Puck is powered by BigTuskEnergy.comCONNECT WITH SLC PUCK!🤝 Patreon ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/slcpuck🛍️ Merch ➡️ https://www.bigtuskenergy.com🤑 SLC Picks (DFS) ➡️ https://www.slcpuck.com/t/slc-picks📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/slcpuck🎥 TikTok ➡️ https://tiktok.com/@slcpuck✳️ Spotify ➡️🐦 Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/slcpuck👍 Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/slcpuck☕️ Buy Me A Coffee ➡️ https://buymeacoffee.com/slcpuck This is a public episode.
