Thornton's Mammoth Season: D minus Grade
Description
Utah Mammoths 2025-2026 season ended with a 43-33-6 record, securing the first wild card in the West. Their AHL affiliate, Tucson Roadrunners, missed playoffs. The team is now evaluating 49 NHL-contracted players, starting with Anson Thornton, a 22-year-old goalie. Thornton, a pending RFA, was sent to the ECHLs Utah Grizzlies in February. He had a solid performance in his only game, posting a 0.970 save percentage and 1.52 goals against. However, an injury ended his season. Thornton is buried deep in the depth chart and has struggled with consistency. The Mammoth gave him a D- grade, suggesting he should seek opportunities elsewhere.
