In a dominant performance, Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley scored two impressive goals, including a highlight-reel tally off a long pass from teammate Mikhail Sergachev and a top-shelf power play marker, to lead his team to a blowout win over the Los Angeles Kings.

Why it matters

Cooley's breakout game showcases the young star's immense talent and potential, providing a glimpse of the Mammoth's bright future as they look to build on their strong season. The team's power play has also seen a significant boost since Cooley joined the top unit.

The details

Cooley's first goal came off a long pass from Sergachev that bounced perfectly off the end boards, allowing Cooley to negate the icing call and bury the puck before the Kings' defense could react. His second tally came on the power play, where Cooley made a slick move to get around a defender and then lifted the puck top-shelf over the goaltender's shoulder while falling to the ice.

  • Cooley scored his first goal in the first period.
  • Cooley scored his second goal a little more than three minutes after the first one.
