The Utah Mammoth bounced back in a big way with a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.
Sebastian Cossa made his third start of the season and just his second start since being pulled against the Boston Bruins.
The Mammoth win a thriller at home
Erik Karlsson scored his first goal of the season to put the Penguins in front 1-0. The Mammoth responded just five minutes later as Clayton Keller scored a goal to make it 1-1.
Center Kevin Stunlend was able to score one more goal to give the Mammoth a 2-1 lead. Rickard Rakell scored a goal to tie the game at two goals a piece.
A few minutes later, the Mammoth scored one more goal, with veteran Nate Schmidt scoring a goal to make it 3-2. Only three minutes later, Kailer Yamamoto scored another goal to make it 4-2 heading into the final period.
Nick Schmaltz scored his seventh goal of the season to make it 5-2 and nearly put the Penguins away.
Pittsburgh didn't give in though, as Egor Chinakhov scored a goal to keep the Penguins in the game. A little bit later, the lead fell to one goal with Declan Carlile scoring another goal on Cossa to make it 5-4.
The game remained that score until the Penguins put a significant amount of pressure on Cossa. Cossa had struggled all night but was able to make an amazing saze to give Utah the win:

“Pretty excited. I was like, is the game over yet?”
“I saw the puck go out & then there was quite a bit of bodies in front of me. So, make sure we get the win & then Weegs & Schmidty were right there. Pretty awesome.”#TusksUp https://t.co/o8j9aURLXh pic.twitter.com/OkHr81bWK9
The Mammoth visit the Seattle Kraken next on Thursday night looking to win their fifth game in their last six.
