Keller, Mammoth halt Oilers’ streak in 4-2 win

Clayton Keller scored two goals as the Utah Mammoth defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Thursday in Edmonton. Barrett Hayton and Logan Cooley also scored for Utah, securing their third consecutive victory. Goaltender Karel Vejmelka stopped 21 shots in the win, while Devon Levi made 20 saves for Edmonton. The defeat ended a five-game winning streak for the Oilers, who played without five starting forwards and a defenseman.

Leon Draisaitl and Shakir Mukhamadullin scored for Edmonton in the loss. Connor McDavid recorded an assist to extend his season-opening points streak to seven games, bringing his league-leading total to 18 points. Cooley restored Utah's two-goal cushion just 23 seconds after Draisaitl's goal in the second period. The two teams will meet again in Utah for a rematch on Saturday night.
