The Mammoth will be without center Logan Cooley for a significant stretch after the team confirmed he is expected to miss a minimum of eight weeks due to a lower-body injury. The injury occurred during the team’s game in Vancouver on December 5.
Although the exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, the extended recovery timeline indicates a more serious issue than initially anticipated. Cooley’s absence will be a challenge for the Mammoth as they navigate a critical portion of the NHL season.
Cooley has been a key part of the Mammoth lineup this season, contributing both offensively and defensively. His speed, playmaking ability, and on-ice awareness have made him an integral player in the team’s forward group. Prior to the injury, Cooley had been playing consistent minutes and was regarded as one of the emerging talents on the roster.
The injury occurred during regular play in the game against Vancouver, but further details have not been made available. After evaluation by the team’s medical staff, it was determined that Cooley would need an extended recovery period.
In Cooley’s absence, Head Coach and team management will need to make adjustments to their lineup and may look to call up a player from their affiliate or reconfigure their current roster to fill the gap at the center position.
The Mammoth have not provided a specific return date, stating only that Cooley will be out for at least eight weeks. His progress will be monitored, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
The team and fans will be hoping for a smooth and complete recovery for Cooley as the Mammoth continue their season. How the club manages during his absence will be an important test of depth as they maintain their push in the standings.
