Peterka scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka was dropped to the third line for this contest but still saw 16:25 of ice time. He has three points over his last two games, so he may stay lower in the lineup until his offense fades. Michael Carcone moved up to take his spot on the second line, and Carcone's style is better suited to the bottom six. Overall, Peterka has six goals, 13 points, 36 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka snapped a five-game point drought with this effort. He scored the game-tying goal within the first minute of the third period and then set up Lawson Crouse for the eventual game-winner. The 23-year-old Peterka is up to five goals, 12 points, 33 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through his first 17 outings with the Mammoth. He's held onto a second-line role and also sees some power-play time, but with just two multi-point efforts on the year, he's yet to see his offense really come to life this season.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
A failed clearance by the Oilers opened the door for Peterka to score. He is on a four-game point streak (two goals, four assists) while working on the second line. The 23-year-old winger is up to four goals, 10 points, 19 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 11 outings this season. Peterka hasn't logged a power-play point yet after picking up 18 of his 68 points with the man advantage last year, so he could still unlock a little more offense.

Peterka scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka saw just 13:31 of ice time in this contest, as the Mammoth were able to spread around the minutes in a blowout win. The 23-year-old still got on the scoresheet with a third-period tally to answer Marcus Johansson's two goals. Peterka hadn't scored in the previous four games, but he had four assists in that span. His first year in Utah is off to a fantastic start with three goals and five assists over nine outings, and he's added 16 shots on net and a plus-9 rating in a top-six role.

Peterka dished out three assists and fired two shots on target in Thursday's 7-4 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka shared the puck extremely well Thursday with helpers on goals scored by Ian Cole, Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller. The 23-year-old Peterka is up to five assists, seven points and 14 shots on net through eight appearances this season. The rising star's first season with the Mammoth is going swimmingly, as he has solidified himself a spot on the second line alongside Cooley and Dylan Guenther. With 68 points a season ago, Peterka could easily hit that number or more while playing top-six minutes on one of the league's best offenses to open the campaign.

Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka has scored in back-to-back games. His tally Wednesday stood as the game-winner for the Mammoth. The 23-year-old winger has three points, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating across four appearances with his new team. Peterka put up 27 goals and 68 points in 77 outings with the Sabres last year, and he should be capable of producing at a similar level in 2025-26.

Peterka scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka scored the equalizer for the Mammoth at the 1:02 mark of the third period with a wrister from the left circle that went past Spencer Knight. This was Peterka's second straight game cracking the scoresheet, as he had delivered an assist in the 3-2 win over Nashville on Saturday. Peterka should continue to find opportunities to produce as long as he remains a regular both as a top-six forward and as a power-play member.

Peterka (undisclosed) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka won't play in Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Kings, but he will be an option for the final two games of Utah's exhibition schedule. The Mammoth host the Kings on Thursday before the Sharks visit Saturday. Peterka will occupy a top-six role and should see plenty of time on the power play this campaign.

Peterka has an undisclosed injury and is regarded as day-to-day, Catherine Bogart of Utah's official site reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Utah acquired Peterka from Buffalo and signed him to a five-year, $38.5 million contract over the summer. The 23-year-old is projected to open 2025-26 on the Mammoth's top six and first power-play unit as long as he's healthy. Peterka had 27 goals and 68 points in 77 outings with Buffalo last year.

Peterka was traded to the Mammoth from the Sabres on Wednesday in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports, Peterka will also sign a five-year, $38.5 million contract with the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka is the best player in the deal right now, and he brings an instant boost to the Mammoth's top six and power play. The winger broke out with 68 points in 77 games last season in his third full NHL campaign with the Sabres. Peterka can play on either wing, but it's unclear if he'll slot onto the first line or the second line to begin his time with the Mammoth. In terms of production, this should be a roughly lateral move for the 23-year-old. The extension comes in at a $7.7 million cap hit, which cements Peterka's status as a core forward for Utah for the remainder of the decade.
