Logan Cooley recorded his fourth career hat trick on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, to lead the Utah Mammoth to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena. Alternate captain Mikhail Sergachev scored the winning goal three and a half minutes into overtime to secure the win and a season sweep of Pittsburgh.
Cooley completed his hat trick with just one second remaining in regulation, occurring 24 seconds after Pittsburgh had scored a go-ahead goal. Cooley stated that the third goal was one of his favorite goals because of the crunch time moment.
Head coach André Tourigny noted that while Cooley's goals were vital, his mindset, work ethic, and decision-making with the puck were also key to his performance.
Defenseman Artem Duda made his NHL debut during the game, playing 15:17 and recording four shots on goal. Sergachev and Tourigny both praised the rookie, noting his poise, confidence, and assertive play with the puck.
Goaltender Sebastian Cossa recorded his third win of the season, stopping 31 of 34 shots faced. Cossa stopped the first 15 shots faced before Erik Karlsson scored eight and a half minutes into the second period.
The victory improved the Utah Mammoth's record to 9-5-0. The team has not lost two consecutive games this season and has begun a stretch of six consecutive road games with a win.
The Mammoth are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon.
