Logan Cooley has natural hat trick and assist in 1st-period spree for Mammoth

By Canadian Press on October 23, 2025.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Logan Cooley had a natural hat trick in a 4:48 span of the first period and also had an assist to help the Utah Mammoth take a 4-0 lead over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.

Cooley assisted on Ian Cole’ opening goal, then scored three straight — all off feeds from Dylan Guenther — to match his career high with four points.

Cooley started his goal surge with a one-timer from the slot off a pass from Guenther at the 6:07 mark. He struck again at 7:57, sliding a backhander between goalie Joel Hofer’s pads, with Jordan Binnington taking over in goal.

Cooley finished the spree with a power-play goal with 9:05 to go. He had his second NHL hat trick, with the first with Arizona against Nashville in March 2024. The former University of Minnesota star was drafted third overall in 2022.

Utah was trying to win its fifth straight game.
