Dylan Guenther scored 33 seconds into overtime, giving the Utah Mammoth a 4-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday in Salt Lake City.
After Colorado's Martin Necas sent the game into overtime with a goal late in the third period, Utah struck quickly in the extra frame.
Clayton Keller carried the puck down the left side of the zone and sent a pass to the front of the net. Guenther reached over and tipped the puck over Scott Wedgewood's pad to give the Mammoth their fourth consecutive win.
Mikhail Sergachev had a goal and two assists, Lawson Crouse and Nick Schmaltz also scored and Karel Vejmelka turned away 30 shots for Utah. Keller finished with two assists.
Mammoth center Jack McBain left the game in the first period after getting tangled along the boards with Victor Olofsson. McBain returned for just one shift, in the second period, over the remainder of the game.
Cale Makar and Jack Drury also scored for Colorado, which got 29 saves from Wedgewood. The Avalanche have not lost in regulation this season (5-0-2).
Necas leveled the game with 2:16 left in regulation on an impressive solo effort. He skated the puck up the right side and drove it into the Utah zone. The puck ricocheted back to Necas, who continued his way down the right wing and beat Wedgewood from a tight angle. It was his fifth goal of the season.
Makar gave Colorado a lead with his third goal of the season 5:29 into the game. Zakhar Bardakov had an assist for his first NHL point in his second game.
The Avalanche appeared to take a 2-0 lead in the first minute of the second period when Gabriel Landeskog scored on a turnover. However, what would have been Landeskog's first regular-season goal since March 5, 2022, was waved off due to Utah's successful offside challenge.
Utah had a tying goal disallowed for goaltender interference later in the second, but the Mammoth tied it on Schmaltz's power-play goal at 9:17 of the middle period. The tally was Schmaltz's fourth of the campaign.
The Mammoth went ahead 3:13 later when Kevin Stenlund fired a pass through the slot to Crouse, who beat Wedgewood with a one-timer. It was his first of the season.
Colorado knotted it up 1:10 into the third period when Ross Colton's shot to the front of the net deflected off Barrett Hayton's skate to Drury, who knocked it in for his first goal of the season.
Sergachev put Utah in front again with his first goal of the season at 5:20 of the third.
