TUCSON, AZ – The Utah Mammoth announced today that forward Daniil But has been assigned to the Tucson Roadrunners, Utah’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.

But, 21, has recorded four points (2g, 2a), a plus-three rating and an average of 10:30 of ice time in 13 NHL games with Utah this season. Over his NHL career, he has totaled 11 points (5g, 6a), a plus-four rating and eight penalty minutes (PIM) in 42 games over parts of the last two seasons.

The 6-foot-5, 203-pound winger tallied 39 points (19g, 20a), 38 PIM and six power-play goals in 41 AHL games during his rookie season with Tucson in 2025-26. He led the team in points per game (0.95), ranking fourth among AHL rookies in that category, while his 19 goals ranked tied for eighth among AHL rookies and the fourth-most by a Roadrunner rookie in a single season in team history.

Prior to beginning his professional career in North America last season, the Yaroslavl, Russia native recorded 51 points (21g, 30a) in 124 Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) games over three seasons with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (2022-25).
