Canes Patch Up for Salt Lake City Showdown

Carolina Hurricanes will again ice a makeshift lineup in Salt Lake City against the Utah Mammoth, with several regulars out and AHL call-ups such as Josiah Slavin, Skyler Brind’Amour, Charles Alexis Legault, and Bradly Nadeau set to play. Coach Rod Brind’Amour did not confirm exact roles, but top stars Svechnikov, Aho, and Jarvis headline the projected forward group, while Brandon Bussi is lined up to start in goal (Frederik Andersen could be used if the rotation changes). Pyotr Kochetkov remains out after hip surgery, and PP units are noted as subject to change due to absences.

Caps surge past Mammoth 7-4 in Utah

Weegar Traded to Utah Mammoth, Recasting Flames’ Defense with Prospects and Picks

Weegar Traded to Utah Mammoth, Recasting Flames’ Defense with Prospects and Picks

The Calgary Flames moved defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three 2026 second-round picks (owned by Utah, the Rangers and the Senators). Weegar waived his no-trade clause and is signed through 2030-31 with a $6.25M cap hit. He’s having a down year (21 points, -35 in 60 games) after a 47-point season in 2023-24, though his prior underlying metrics had been strong. The Mammoth aim to bolster their defense with a mix of left- and right-handed players; Castagna is a 6'2" center who has 14 goals and 18 assists in 29 games at Cornell this season, and Maatta’s role has diminished in Utah, with the 31-year-old under contract for two more seasons after 2025-26 at a $3.5M cap hit.

Weegar lands with Utah Mammoth in Flames deal for Maatta, Castagna, and picks

MacKenzie Weegar was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Utah Mammoth for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 NHL Draft (two of which came from the Rangers and Senators). Weegar, under an eight-year, $50 million contract, has 21 points in 60 games this season and is expected to join Utah in 4–10 days due to visa processing. Maatta has one assist in 22 games for the Mammoth this season, Castagna is a Cornell forward with 32 points in 29 games, and Calgary sits 12 points out of the West’s second wild-card spot while Utah holds the first wild-card. Utah GM Bill Armstrong called Weegar a veteran puck-mover and leader who will help the team take the next step.

Mammoth land MacKenzie Weegar to anchor blueline

Utah’s deadline deal sends MacKenzie Weegar from Calgary to Utah in exchange for Olli Maatta, Cornell center Jonathan Castagna, and three 2026 second-round picks. Weegar, a versatile right-handed defenseman under a five-year, $6.25M cap hit, strengthens Utah’s back end for a playoff push and could pair with Marino or shield Ian Cole. Calgary acquires veteran depth in Maatta, a promising prospect in Castagna, and additional draft capital.

Bruins or Mammoth in Pursuit: Blues Star Thomas Generates Deadline Buzz

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas is drawing strong deadline interest, with Boston Bruins and Utah Mammoth as heavy favorites to land him. The Bruins reportedly offer top prospects Matthew Poitras and Dean Letourneau, while Utah would part with one of its top youngsters (Iginla or Beaudoin). The New York Islanders are also mentioned as a potential dark horse. If dealt, the Blues could pivot to additional moves involving other veterans by Friday’s deadline.

Flyers' Late Collapse Exposes Leadership Gap in OT Setback

The Flyers blew a late two-goal lead in Utah as veteran leaders failed in pressure moments: Garnet Hathaway mishandled a routine empty-net opportunity, allowing Clayton Keller to tie and then win in overtime, while Sanheim and Konecny also made costly plays. Coach Rick Tocchet publicly called out the veterans for not rising to the moment, underscoring a concerning leadership gap as Philadelphia falls to 1-5-2 in eight games.
