Well, that didn’t take long.
In just their second year in the NHL, Clayton Keller’s Utah Mammoth have advanced to the postseason.
After clinching the first Wild Card spot in the West, André Tourigny’s club will take on Jack Eichel’s Pacific Division winning Las Vegas Golden Knights (who also went to the Stanley Cup in their inaugural season) first-ever playoff series.
Games 3 and 4 — along with Game 6 if necessary — at Utah’s Delta Center are set for:
Game Three
Friday, April 24
7:30 p.m.
Game Four
Monday, April 27
TBA
Game Six
Friday, May 1
TBA
If you’d like to be there, tickets are available for all three potential tilts in Salt Lake City as of today.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one first-round showdown in Utah was $176 including fees on StubHub.
Prices start at $64 including fees for games at Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena.
Over the course of the regular season, the Mammoth and Golden Knights met three times. And, while Vegas arguably had a better season, Utah did win two of their three matchups.
Still, oddsmakers consider the Knights to be the favorites in this high-stakes series.
Eichel and co. finished the 2025-26 campaign strong on a 10-game point streak and haven’t suffered a defeat in regulation in what we’re calling the John Tortorella era (which began in late March).
Therefore, Keller, Dylan Guenther, Mikhail Sergachev, Karel Vejmelka and Logan Cooley will need all the help they can get at the Delta Center.
“They earned the right to play game 83,” Tourigny said. “We talked about it all season long. Proud of the guys for that and excited to get going.”
Tusks up, Mammoth fans- this is your moment.
