What happened: The Utah Mammoth have signed defenseman Andrew Peeke to a one-year, $1 million contract. The team confirmed the deal, adding the right-shot blueliner to its defensive corps ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: The signing rounds out Utah's back end on a cost-controlled, one-year term, giving the club depth and flexibility without a long-term commitment. It continues a busy offseason for the Mammoth, who recently reshaped their roster with the acquisition of forward Vincent Trocheck.
