On this episode of SLC Puck , Austin and Sammy break down the current playoff picture, why Utah is in great shape to stay in the first Wild Card spot, and which Pacific Division opponent would be the best — or worst — draw for the Mammoth.

In this episode: * Why Utah looks likely to stay in Wild Card 1 * The case for and against facing Edmonton * Why Vegas might be the preferred matchup * Why Anaheim still feels like the weirdest series * Social media fun with Mackenzie Weegar and Lawson Krause * Why this week could be the one where the Mammoth finally clinch CONNECT WITH SLC PUCK!🤝 Patreon ➡️ www.patreon.com/slcpuck 🛍️ Merch ➡️ www.bigtuskenergy.com 🤑SLC Picks (DFS)➡️ https://www.slcpuck.com/t/slc-picks 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/slcpuck 🎥TikTok ➡️ https://tiktok.com/@slcpuck 🎧 Apple Podcasts ➡️ ✳️ Spotify ➡️ 🐦 Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/slcpuck 👍 Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/slcpuck ☕️Buy Me A Coffee (Support the show!) https://buymeacoffee.com/slcpuck This is a public episode.
