· National Hockey League
Nick Schmaltz has hat trick in 5-point game, Mammoth beat Canucks 6-2
Schmaltz had his third career NHL hat trick to push his season goals total to 22, one shy of his career high set with Arizona in 2021-22.
JJ Peterka scored his 20th of the season, John Marino had a goal and two assists and Mikhail Sergachev also scored to help Utah end a two-game losing streak. Karel Vejmelka made 21 saves.
Schmaltz scored twice in the first as Utah took a 2-1 lead. In the second, Sergachev connected on a power play and Marino and Peterka pushed the advantage to 5-1. Schmaltz completed the hat trick with 7:38 left in the third, scoring off a feed from Clayton Keller on a break.
Liam Ohgren and Teddy Blueger scored for Vancouver. Kevin Lankinen stopped 14 shots.
Vancouver has only two victories in its last 18 games — both on an eight-game homestand that ended Saturday night with a 3-2 shootout loss to Toronto.
Mammoth: Host Detroit on Wednesday night in their final game before the Olympic break.
