Utah Mammoth face heavy loss to Bruins amid trade rumors

The Utah Mammoth are navigating early-season fluctuations in the 2026-27 NHL campaign. Following a strong 3-1-0 start, the team suffered a significant 6-1 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden. Despite outshooting Boston nearly 2:1, the Mammoth struggled with special teams, failing to convert on seven power plays while allowing three goals on four penalties. Rookie goaltender Sebastian Cossa was pulled before the end of the first period after allowing three goals on eight shots.

Off the ice, the Mammoth are being linked to several high-profile trade targets. Following Connor Hellebuyck’s trade request from Winnipeg, rumors have connected the team to the goaltender. Additionally, NHL insiders suggest defenseman Simon Edvinsson may be a target for Utah; reports indicate the 23-year-old restricted free agent prefers a trade over signing an extension with the Detroit Red Wings. The Mammoth have previously bolstered their roster through trades for players such as Vincent Trocheck and Sebastian Cossa.
