Utah Mammoth's seven-game win streak crashes to a halt in Edmonton, but is a 3-1 road trip against Central Division rivals the real story? The Oilers exploded for five goals in a catastrophic second period, exposing defensive vulnerabilities when Connor McDavid and company turned up the pressure.

Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño break down how Utah dominated the opening frame before Edmonton scored identical goals just 37 seconds apart. The hosts analyze game flow charts and heat maps revealing defensive breakdowns, discuss Karel Vejmelka's performance under siege, and examine why this young team struggles to recover when momentum shifts. With crucial wins over St. Louis, Minnesota, and Winnipeg already secured, the road trip success offers genuine playoff hope despite the Edmonton setback.

Utah faces an unusual stretch of Eastern Conference opponents starting Sunday against Tampa Bay's veteran squad and John Cooper's Hall of Fame-caliber coaching. Can the Mammoth maintain their divisional dominance while learning to weather adversity against elite competition?
