Mammoth, Penguins looking for strong late-season push

Two teams in the hunt for the Stanley Cup playoffs and in need of a victory will meet in Salt Lake City Saturday night when the Utah Mammoth host the Pittsburgh Penguins.

If the season ended today, both teams would make the postseason. However, the Mammoth have dropped their last three contests (0-1-2), including a 3-2 overtime loss at home Thursday to the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Penguins, who fell 6-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights Thursday, enter Saturday's game with a two-game skid and a 1-3-2 mark in their last six.
