Anaheim extended its lead to three points over the Edmonton Oilers for first place in the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n

Dylan Guenther<\/a> scored, and Vitek Vanecek<\/a> made 20 saves for the Mammoth (36-28-6), who have lost five of their past seven (2-3-2). They won 4-0 at the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Utah holds the first wild card into the playoffs from\u00a0the Western Conference and remained six points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings, who hold the second wild card.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see the way we played in the third, we generated a lot of offense,\u201d Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny said. \u201cWe had great opportunities, we had momentum, we were aggressive and all of it. We were not on our heels, so really the only thing I don’t like is the scoreboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guenther made it 1-0 at 1:48 of the first period, beating\u00a0Dostal over the blocker from the left face-off dot with a one-timer set up by\u00a0Sean Durzi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolid effort, back to back, they had a good push, we had a good push, and we’ve just got to bear down a little bit more on some plays,\u201d Guenther said. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s right there, so I think there\u2019s some positives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poehling scored a short-handed goal to tie it 1-1 at 13:37, digging the puck off of the left boards and beating\u00a0Vanecek on the blocker side with a wrist shot on a breakaway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the rest of the games (from) here on out are going to be like that,\u201d Poehling said. \u201cWhen you look at the standings, it’s so tight just in our division, and then even with the wild card. So for us to just kind of know that and kind of get a feel for that, it’s not only going to help us in these games, but I think it’ll help us if we eventually get there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anaheim extended its lead to three points over the Edmonton Oilers for first place in the Pacific Division.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-554709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
