SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Mammoth have had some tough sledding as of late and SLC Puck host Austin Facer thinks a lot of the issues are matchup and size-related.
Utah's undersized, but highly skilled, forward groups have been overpowered by the strength of bigger opponents, most recently the Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated the Mammoth Wednesday night 5-3.
Facer feels that failing to address this issue could hold Utah back from making the playoffs or having success in the postseason. He wonders if 6-foot-5 prospect Daniil But, who has been playing well in the minors, might be due for a call-up to help solve Utah's size woes.
