The Edmonton Oilers returned home Thursday after a successful road trip to play the Utah Mammoth. Edmonton was 5-0-1 going into the matchup and 5-0-1 lifetime against their opponents. However, the Mammoth prevailed 4-2 for their first-ever win in the Alberta capital. It was a surprisingly physical affair, and the rematch will be eagerly anticipated. Utah faced an Edmonton team missing its entire second line, its third-line centre, a top-four defenceman, and its goalie. Jason Dickinson couldn’t go after warmups, so Filip Hallander moved up to second-line centre and Max Jones drew in on the fourth line. According to Mike Babcock, Dickinson didn’t miss the game because of his previous ankle injury. The Mammoth are a deep team, roll four lines, and had a huge advantage over the home team tonight. This was especially evident in the first period as Utah took the play to the Oilers. Edmonton’s depth players had their moments, though, including a great rush by Max Jones in the opening frame. He showed surprising speed, barreling down the right wing, cutting in on goal and getting a good chance.
