The Utah Mammoth will face the Vancouver Canucks at Delta Center on February 2, 2026, in the second game of their season series. Utah enters with a strong 28-23-4 record, looking to build on a successful January. Vancouver, struggling at 18-31-6, seeks to end a poor month on a positive note.
The Utah Mammoth are set to host the Vancouver Canucks on February 2, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. MT at Delta Center, kicking off a week with two home games before the Olympic break. This matchup marks the second of three games between the teams this season, following Utah's 4-1 victory on December 5 in Vancouver. In that game, Mikhail Sergachev scored a power-play goal, Nick Schmaltz and Kevin Stenlund added tallies, and John Marino netted a short-handed empty-netter, while Karel Vejmelka stopped 31 of 32 shots.
Utah has been solid lately, posting a 10-4-1 record in January and outscoring opponents 54-38. The team holds a 28-23-4 overall mark, with 60 points placing them fourth in the Central Division and in the first wild card spot. They are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. Kailer Yamamoto is on fire, with seven points (5 goals, 2 assists) over his last five games, including four goals in his previous two. Dylan Guenther leads Utah with 24 goals, while captain Clayton Keller tops the team with 50 points (34 assists). Vejmelka shares the league lead with 25 wins in 42 games, boasting a 2.63 goals-against average and .901 save percentage.
For lineup news, head coach André Tourigny announced forward Daniil But will sit out, replaced by Liam O’Brien on the Stenlund line for added physicality. “Looking for a little bit of physicality and spark and a little bit of a restart with (But),” Tourigny said. Forwards Logan Cooley and Alexander Kerfoot skated in non-contact jerseys due to lower-body injuries and remain on injured reserve. Forward Dylan Guenther emphasized starting strong after a sluggish first period in their recent 3-2 loss to Dallas: “I think get on them early... Our start last game was not good.”
Vancouver enters February after a dismal 2-11-3 January and a 2-7-1 stretch in their last 10 games, sitting eighth in the Pacific Division with 42 points. Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, and Drew O’Connor share the team lead with 13 goals each, while Pettersson has 32 points. The Canucks recently lost 3-2 in a shootout to Toronto, with Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Tom Willander scoring. Goaltender Nikita Tolopilo made 39 saves in that game. Injuries plague Vancouver, including Brock Boeser (concussion, IR) and Thatcher Demko (hip, IR). This road game precedes a matchup against Vegas before their break.
Utah's defense is stout, allowing the sixth-fewest goals per game (2.80), while Vancouver concedes the most (3.58). DeBrusk ties for fourth league-wide with 11 power-play goals.
