Cooley’s Four-Goal Explosion Lights Up Salt Lake City
So, this one’s pretty wild — Logan Cooley absolutely lit up the ice with a performance that felt like it was pulled straight out of a highlight reel. It was one of those nights where everything just clicked for him, and the Utah Mammoth rode that momentum to a commanding 5-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. And honestly, the way this game unfolded, you could feel early on that something special was happening.
The story really started building in the first period. Utah grabbed the lead when Dylan Guenther snapped one in, thanks to a clean setup from Cooley. Then, not even two minutes later, Cooley wasted no time doubling the advantage. He found a lane on the blocker side, took the feed back from Guenther, and buried it. It was the kind of one-two combo play that makes you think these two might have telepathy.
But Vegas did try to push back. Early in the second period, Ivan Barbashev found a loose puck in front and managed to squeeze it past Karel Vejmelka, who, by the way, had a rock-solid night with 33 saves. That goal made it 2-1 and gave the Golden Knights a flicker of momentum — but that flicker didn’t last long.

Because the third period basically became The Logan Cooley Show.
First, he broke away cleanly and beat Carl Lindbom to restore the two-goal cushion. You could feel the energy in the arena spike after that. Then, with Vegas pulling the goalie late, Cooley stepped up and delivered not one, but two empty-net goals — one of them short-handed — to complete a four-goal night and a five-point game. That’s not just impressive; that’s career-night, season-defining, remember-where-you-were stuff.
Utah, as a team, seems to be finding their groove again. After dropping four straight earlier in November, they’ve now stitched together a pair of strong wins and earned points in six of their last seven. Vegas, meanwhile, had been on a six-game point streak before running into this buzzsaw of a performance.
All told, Cooley’s night felt like a statement — not just a good game, but the kind where a young star plants a flag and says, yeah, I’m here now . And after watching the way he took over this matchup, it’s tough to argue with that.
