Why Utah Mammoth is surging
- Over 5 years (Arizona Coyotes through 23-24) (21-22 to 25-26): index 77.2 → 100.7, surging (+6.3 per season); improving: results and the power play.
- EV xGF/60: 2.81 → 3.19 (↑ 13.5%, better)
- EV xGA/60: 2.44 → 2.14 (↓ 12.2%, better)
- PP xGF/60: 7.92 → 9.99 (↑ 26.2%, better)
- PK xGA/60: 8.51 → 7.92 (↓ 6.9%, better)
- xGA ÷ goals allowed: 1.031 → 0.765 (↓ 25.8%, worse)
- EV xG%: 53.5 % → 59.8 % (↑ 11.7%, better)
- Roster: 5 key players rising, 6 declining, 7 stable.
- The progress comes mostly from the power play, while goaltending holds it back; the core is stable.
- Early season (9 games): the pulse rests mostly on the roster, and last season still weighs heavily in the rating this year.

A player's trend compares 2025-26 with 2024-25 (PAL, WAR per 60, SC, PA, DF, SK ratings, in percentile points) and adds age. Roster Trend weights each player by ice time and importance: a rising fourth line doesn't offset a declining top center.
The Utah Mammoth story
The franchise traces its origins to April 18, 2024, when the NHL Board of Governors granted an expansion club to owner Ryan Smith. Rather than stock the roster via a traditional expansion draft, Smith acquired the hockey assets of the Arizona Coyotes as that club suspended operations, and the team began its inaugural campaign in 2024–25 under the temporary name Utah Hockey Club. On June 13, 2024 the organization revealed its initial identity for the season, and after a year of play a fan vote culminated in the permanent naming of the Utah Mammoth on May 7, 2025.
Today the Mammoth compete in the NHL as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference and play home games at the Delta Center, an arena they share with the NBA’s Utah Jazz. The club’s first season in 2024–25 established its place in the league while the organization continued to build its roster and on-ice identity following the transfer of personnel and draft assets from Arizona.
A small set of figures already mark the early history: owner Ryan Smith, head coach André Tourigny and captain Clayton Keller are central to the team’s initial direction, while the Arizona Coyotes figure prominently as the source of the franchise’s opening-day personnel and structure.
