Clayton Keller scored two goals on October 15 to lead the Utah Mammoth to a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The win snapped a five-game winning streak for Edmonton and marked the third consecutive win for the Mammoth.
Barrett Hayton and Logan Cooley also scored for the Mammoth. Hayton, who was the subject of an offer sheet from the New Jersey Devils during the offseason, recorded his first goal of the season and extended his points streak to five games. Cooley scored his first goal of the season after Vincent Trocheck sent the puck in front of him just 23 seconds after Edmonton had scored. Karel Vejmelka made 22 saves for Utah.
Leon Draisaitl and Shakir Mukhamadullin scored for the Oilers. Draisaitl scored at 13:54 of the second period to bring Edmonton within 2-1. Connor McDavid provided an assist on the play, extending his season-starting points streak to seven games. McDavid has recorded four goals and 14 assists for 18 total points, which is a league-leading total and his best start to a season. Devon Levi made 20 saves for Edmonton, who entered the game missing five starting forwards and one defenseman.
The Oilers held a 5-0-1 record against the Mammoth prior to the game and had outscored Utah 31-16. Edmonton also held a 3-0-0 all-time record at home against Utah, outscoring the Mammoth 17-5.
