Mammoth defenseman Mikhail Sergachev leaves game vs. Devils after getting hit in helmet by puck

Utah Mammoth defenseman Mikhail Sergachev was forced out of Tuesday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils after taking a hard hit to the helmet from a puck. The incident occurred during the Mammoth’s visit to Prudential Center, where they faced off against the Devils in a non-conference matchup.

Sergachev’s departure marked another injury setback for the Mammoth, who had already seen Vincent Trocheck leave their previous game with a lower-body issue. Meanwhile, the Devils made a lineup adjustment, with Jesper Boqvist starting in place of Stefan Noesen.

The Mammoth had begun the season strongly, maintaining a 2-1 record in the Central Division, while the Devils sat at 1-1 in the Metropolitan Division. The game was part of a three-game home stand for New Jersey, following a tough loss to the New York Rangers the previous weekend.
