NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Despite playing their “B” game and sitting in the box for a majority of the second period, the Utah Mammoth found a way to win on Saturday night as they forced OT and stole an extra point from the Nashville Predators.

Here are the key takeaways from Utah’s big win in Music City.

A season ago, Hayton was Utah’s second-best player in the circle as he won 54 percent of his faceoffs (552/1020).

But with Hayton sidelined due to injury to begin the year, Utah has struggled significantly, winning only 36 percent of their collective (46/129) contests in the dot.
