Utah Mammoth at Vancouver Canucks

Stenlund has goal and assist as Mammoth beat Canucks 4-1

Mikhail Sergachev, Nick Schmaltz and John Marino also scored for the Mammoth. Karel Vejmelka stopped 31 shots two nights after getting his first shutout of the season in a 7-0 win at Anaheim.

Arshdeep Bains scored for the NHL-worst Canucks, who have lost four straight (0-3-1). Kevin Lankinen had 14 saves.

Bains spoiled Vejmelka’s bid for consecutive shutouts at 4:17 of the third period, tipping Aatu Raty’s shot high over the goalie’s shoulder for his first goal of the season to pull Vancouver to 2-1.

With the Canucks pressing for the equalizer, Vejmelka had two saves on Jake DeBrusk during a Vancouver power play.

Utah had a goal waved off with 6:16 to play with officials ruling Mammoth forward Dylan Guenther had made contact with Lankinen.

Vejmelka then stopped back-to-back chances from Quinn Hughes and Brock Boeser with just over five minutes remaining.

Stenlund pushed Utah's lead to 3-1 with 2:08 to go with a nifty backhander during a rush, and Marino sealed the win with an empty-netter in the final minute.

Sergachev's power-play goal with 4 minutes remaining in the first gave Utah a 1-0 lead, and Schmaltz doubled the advantage with 5:55 left in the second.

Up next Mammoth: At Calgary on Saturday night.

Canucks: Host Minnesota on Saturday night.
