UPDATE: Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley is out indefinitely following a serious injury sustained during Friday night’s game against the Vancouver Canucks. The injury occurred late in the game when the 21-year-old player crashed into the net, colliding hard with the post.
Cooley, who signed a lucrative 8-year, $80 million extension just two months ago, has been a standout player for the Mammoth this season, accumulating 14 goals and 9 assists in just 29 games. The team has not specified the nature of his injury or provided a timeline for his return, raising concerns among fans and teammates alike.
In a statement, Mammoth Head Coach André Tourigny expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for a “next man up” mentality as the team navigates this challenging situation. The Mammoth’s loss to the Flames on Saturday night highlighted the gap left by Cooley, as they fell 2-0 in a tough match.
Cooley’s injury comes as a significant blow to the Mammoth, who are counting on his youthful energy and skill to propel them through the season. As he recovers, the Mammoth will be closely monitoring his progress while searching for ways to fill the void on the ice.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this injury will impact the Mammoth’s performance in the coming weeks. With no clear return date, the team faces an uphill battle to maintain its competitive edge in the league.
Watch for updates on Cooley’s condition and the Mammoth’s next moves as this story develops.
