Schmaltz scored Utah’s third goal at the 9:46 of the second. He collected a puck that deflected off Soderblom’s skate as he dropped to his belly and tapped it in behind him at close range.
The Mammoth added two more goals later in the period. Lee tapped in the puck in traffic off a feed from Andrew Peeke with 6:54 left in the second. Guenther added his second power-play goal with 4:32 remaining in the period to put Utah up 5-0.
But capped the scoring with 7:10 left in the third.
