Mammoth Top Maple Leafs 3-2 Behind Cossa
Utah won its second straight game after Andre Tourigny reshuffled all four forward lines before facing Toronto.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Hockey
The Utah Mammoth defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Tuesday, bouncing back from a 6-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Goals from Dylan Guenther on the power play and Nick Schmaltz in the third period carried Utah, with Sebastian Cossa making 27 saves on 29 shots.
Why it matters
Utah is the NHL's only team yet to suffer back-to-back losses this season, and the win reflects a lineup change intended to restore offensive pressure. Tourigny's reshuffle addressed forward lines that had struggled to generate consistent offense.
Sebastian Cossa stopped 27 of 29 shots for a .931 save percentage and has won three straight starts with a 4-1 record this season. Dylan Guenther and Nick Schmaltz had combined for just two goals over their previous seven games before Tuesday.

Season Trajectory

Cossa's three-game winning streak and 4-1 record make him the likely starter for Utah's next outing, which matters for fantasy goaltender rosters. Fans can track whether Guenther and Schmaltz sustain their scoring after a slow stretch.
