GRAB SOME ICE GIVEAWAY: https://www.slcpuck.com/p/giveaway-grab-some-ice

The Utah Mammoth drop another brutal one to the Chicago Blackhawks, falling 3-2 in overtime in a game that felt way too winnable. Connor Bedard plays villain, scores the game-winner, and somehow Chicago escapes Salt Lake with two points again.

On this episode, Austin breaks down why this loss was so frustrating, why Utah actually played a strong game in a lot of areas, and what it says about the Mammoth’s push toward the playoffs.

Plus: Nick Schmaltz signs an 8-year extension worth $8 million AAV, and Austin explains why keeping Schmaltz in Utah was a huge move for the franchise.

Inside this episode:

* Why this Chicago loss felt especially annoying

* Connor Bedard embracing the villain role

* The good and the bad from Utah’s effort

* Why Spencer Knight stole this game

* What Nick Schmaltz’s extension means for the future

* Updated playoff picture and what comes next for the Mammoth
