Not a player was scoring — except Clayton Keller, whose overtime goal was so good it even surprised Tusky the Mammoth. Coming away with a 4-3 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets, Keller and the Utah Mammoth delivered the best gift a Mammoth fan could ask for — an exciting overtime win at home ahead of the Christmas break.

"He was like, let's come with a lot of speed and, you know, I think that was something that was in my head as I came on the ice."Additionally, Guenther gave Keller a new record, as he recorded the fastest goal in Utah Mammoth history, scoring just 13 seconds into overtime and overtaking Lawson Crouse’s previous mark of 16 seconds against the Kraken on April 8. Knowing Guenther’s success — he has scored a game-winning goal in 19 of his 186 NHL games — it would have come as no surprise if he elected to shoot the puck himself. He was coming in with plenty of speed on a 2-on-1 and was in a great position to shoot. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat’s just it, though.
