Dylan Guenther scored at the 2:56 mark of overtime as the Utah Mammoth rallied for a 3-2 victory over the host Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

Guenther won a puck battle near the right boards then skated around Fedor Svechkov toward the front of the crease, where he tucked a backhand shot through the pads of Nashville goalie Juuse Saros for the game-winner and his second goal of the season.

Logan Cooley and Jack McBain also scored for Utah, which bounced back from a season-opening 2-1 loss at Colorado on Thursday. Karel Vejmelka finished with 20 saves.

Erik Huala and Filip Forsberg each scored goals for Nashville and Saros stopped 20 of 23 shots.

Utah took a 1-0 led at the 2:21 mark of the first period when Cooley finished a 3-on-1 rush with a wrist shot inside the right post off a Guenther crossing pass.

Forsberg tied it midway through the period with a wrist shot five-hole from the left circle. The score was set up by 18-year-old center Brady Martin, the team's first-round pick and No. 5 overall in the 2025 NHL Draft. He stole the puck in the neutral zone from Utah defenseman John Marino and passed it to Forsberg for his first career NHL assist.

Haula gave the Predators a 2-1 lead in the second period when he muscled in a rebound into the right side of the net during a goalmouth scramble that saw Vejmelka's stick fly into the air.

Nashville appeared to extend its lead to 3-1 on a power play when Roman Josi took a pass from Forsberg at the blue line and put in a wrist shot from the right circle 26 seconds into the third period. However, the score was taken off the scoreboard after a successful coach's challenge by Utah for an offside pass.

The Mammoth then tied it, 2-2, midway through the period on McBain's goal, a rebound of a Sean Durzi point shot that caromed off Nick Schmaltz in the slot to the stick of McBain, who slid the puck into the right side of the net.
