Mammoth top pick Caleb Desnoyers out approximately 12 weeks

Utah Mammoth rookie forward Caleb Desnoyers underwent wrist surgery and is expected to be sidelined approximately 12 weeks, general manager Bill Armstrong announced Thursday.

The Mammoth selected Desnoyers with the fourth overall pick of the 2025 NHL Draft.

Desnoyers, 18, recorded 84 points (35 goals, 49 assists) in 56 games last season for Moncton of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.

He added 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists) in 19 playoff games, winning the QMJHL playoff MVP trophy and leading to the Wildcats to the league title.

He has yet to sign his NHL entry-level contract and could choose to play in college in the upcoming season.
