Logan Cooley scores late as the Mammoth beat the Golden Knights 3-2 to even playoffs series

Logan Cooley scored off a rebound with six minutes left to give the Mammoth a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights, and they will head back to Utah with a split of the first two games in their first-round playoffs series.

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in Salt Lake City.

It’s the first playoff victory for the Mammoth since the organization relocated from Arizona two years ago.

This was the Golden Knights’ first regulation defeat under coach John Tortorella (8-1-1).
