The Utah Mammoth continue to struggle, and they blew another lead in a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Monday night.

But it all came true. McIntyre, a 21-year-old goalie born and raised in Park City, Utah, has been the Mammoth’s practice goalie all season. He played for Park City High (where he won three state championships) before heading to the East Coast to play college prep hockey — a level that doesn’t produce many NHLers.

Nashville has the seventh-highest win rate with faceoffs (52.1%). O’Reilly has won 55.9% of his faceoffs this season which is 17th in the NHL (must take 15% of team’s faceoffs to qualify).
