The Utah Mammoth need to find a way to start winning again. Once again, the Mammoth took another loss where they allowed five goals.

The Vegas Golden Knights proved to be too much to handle as the Mammoth fell to 2-3-1 during the six game road trip which finally came to an end.

The Mammoth lose 5-3 at Vegas

The game started poorly, as Jack Eichel quickly made it 1-0 with a power-play goal. Just a few minutes later, the Mammoth responded with a goal from Lawson Crouse to make the score 1-1, and the game remained tied after the first period.

The Mammoth were then bombarded by three straight goals from the VGK, including two back-to-back goals by Ivan Barbeshev. The VGK took a commanding 4-1 lead. The Mammoth began to crawl back inot the conflict with a goal from Jack McBain, his second of the season, making it 4-2 heading into the final period.

Nine minutes into the third period, the Mammoth scored a nice goal on defenseman Dmitri Simashev, making the game a whole lot more interesting. However, just one minute later, Brett Howden scored his sixth goal of the season to extend the lead to 5-3.

That proved too much for the Mammoth, who didn't have Logan Cooler or Dylan Guenther last night. Sebastian Cossa unfortunately still allowed five goals as the Mammoth's goalie struggles continue.

Tonight, Utah returns home to take on the St. Louis Blues, and it needs to rally after three straight losses.
