The Utah Mammoth opened the stretch drive with a frustrating 4–2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at the Delta Center, and it had all the “back from a 20-day break” symptoms: sloppy passes, weird timing, and a second period that turned into a full-on goal-fest.

Tonight’s big themes:

* Dylan Gunther tried to drag Utah back with two goals

* Utah’s 5-on-3 in the third didn’t cash in (pain)

* New/returning pieces (Logan Cooley + Alex Kerfoot) shake up the lineup and chemistry

* And the big question: is this just rust… or a warning sign?

We also check the wild card scoreboard (Seattle + LA help Utah by losing), look ahead to Minnesota and Chicago, and talk trade deadline pressure as the Mammoth sprint toward the playoffs.
