Sergachev, Guenther each has goal, assist for Mammoth; McKenna scores for Toronto
Dylan Guenther and Mikhail Sergachev each had a goal and an assist for the Utah Mammoth, who staved off a late surge to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 at the Delta Center on Tuesday.
“We were resilient out there, but obviously we didn’t play the way we wanted to play in the third period,” Sergachev said. “We were backing off a little bit, not attacking as much as we should have been, but it’s only game seven of the season, so I think it’s going to be a quick turn around, we’re going to learn from it.”
