The Utah Mammoth are on the Olympic break, but four Mammoth players are headed to Milano Cortina for best-on-best hockey — and we’ve got a full primer on who’s playing, when they play, and what to watch. Plus: where Utah sits in the standings at the break, why the playoff path looks real, and one potential trade-deadline angle worth tracking.
