Sebastian Cossa begins new chapter with Utah Mammoth in AHL

Sebastian Cossa, selected 15th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 2021, is set to become the backup goalie for the Utah Mammoth in the 2026-27 AHL season. Following a trade from Detroit, Cossa signed a two-year contract extension worth $2 million annually. Mammoth general manager Bill Armstrong believes Cossa is ready for the opportunity, highlighting his previous AHL performance. Cossa's potential to compete for the Calder Trophy is noted, although recent history suggests rookie goalies often face an uphill battle in the race for this honor.
