A perfect 4–0 opening homestand, highlighted by the debut of mascot Tusky, has Utah off to a fast start in 2025–26. Whether “Tusky Magic” is real or not, the production is: winger Nick Schmaltz has four goals and six assists through seven games for a team-leading 10 points.

The schedule stiffens to close the month. Utah will play four straight road games against Western Conference playoff teams; a stretch SLC Puck host Austin Facer has dubbed the Mammoth’s “Spooky Season,” providing an early measure of where this group stacks up.
