SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- John Marino scored at 4:03 of the third period to break
a tie and give the Utah Mammoth a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday
night.
Marino also assisted on Nick Schmaltz's 17th goal of the season and Karel
Vejmelka made 26 stops as the Mammoth won for the fifth time in six games.
Mikko Rantanen scored and Jake Oettinger had 25 saves for Dallas, which has
lost nine of its last 11 games.
Schmaltz broke a scoreless deadlock with 7 seconds left in the second period,
tipping in a feed from Marino. It was the fourth latest goal in any regulation
period in Utah's short franchise history.
The Mammoth nearly made it 2-0 just 38 seconds into the third, but Lawson
Crouse had his goal wiped off the board for high-sticking.
Rantanen leveled the score with a power-play goal at the 2:04 of the third.
Marino answered two minutes later, snapping the puck home from long distance to
put the Mammoth up 2-1 with his second winning goal of the season.
Utah improved to 16-1-1 this season when leading after two periods.
