Utah Mammoth playoff hopes fall short as Lawson Crouse shines, but top-line struggles prove costly. Can star power alone drive postseason success, or does Utah need a deeper roster overhaul?

They celebrate Lawson Crouse’s physical edge and Kyler Yamamoto’s clutch performances while questioning Nick Schmaltz’s disappointing output and the vanishing act of JJ Peterka.
