Golden Knights
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Logan Cooley scored four straight goals and had an
assist and the Utah Mammoth beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-1 on Monday night
to avenge a home loss four days earlier.
Cooley gave Utah a 3-1 lead on a breakaway at 4:19 of the third period, and
completed his second hat trick of the season into an empty net with 4:19 left.
He added a short-handed empty-netter with 2:17 to go for his career-high fourth
of the night and 13th of the season.
The 21-year-old Cooley had the first four-goal game in the NHL this season. He
had another natural hat trick in the first period in a 7-4 victory at St. Louis
on Oct. 24. He has three career NHL hat tricks.
The teams also played Thursday night at Delta Center, with Vegas winning 4-1.
Utah rebounded Saturday night, topping the New York Rangers 3-2 at home to end
a four-game skid. Vegas fell 4-3 in overtime at Anaheim on Saturday night.
Dylan Guenther had a goal and an assist for Utah, and Karel Vejmelka stopped 33
shots. Ivan Barbashev scored for Vegas, and Carl Lindbom made 20 saves.
Guenther and Cooley scored in a 1:17 span in the first period. Guenther got his
ninth of the season with 5:06 left off assists from Cooley and defenseman Nate
Schmidt. Cooley connected with 3:49 remaining, with Guenther and Schmidt
getting assists.
Barbashev scored for Vegas at 5:24 of the second.
