The first month of the season always yields some surprises. It's just hard to predict where they'll be originating from.

This season, it happens it be coming from the NHL's newest market as the Utah Mammoth have used a seven-game winning streak to vault themselves to the top of the Central, above three other division powerhouses.

Plenty of other news coming out of a 25-game weekend...some good, some bad and some ugly.

And, gear up for Frozen Frenzy, a 16-game evening-long marathon coming up Tuesday.
