DeSimone penned a two-year, $2 million contract with the Mammoth on Monday.
DeSimone appeared in 40 regular-season games with Utah in 2025-26, providing two goals, eight points, 31 blocks and a plus-4 rating. The 31-year-old will probably start the 2026-27 campaign as the team's seventh defenseman.

DeSimone notched an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Canucks.
DeSimone was in the lineup for MacKenzie Weegar (upper body), who is considered day-to-day. The 31-year-old DeSimone had been in a reserve role since March 12, sitting out 10 straight games while the Mammoth were healthy on the blue line. He's picked up a career-high eight points with 33 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-6 rating over 38 appearances this season. He'll likely play in a third-pairing role for as long as Weegar is out.

DeSimone registered an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
DeSimone ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman is likely headed for a reserve role once Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) returns, as the addition of MacKenzie Weegar has strengthened the right side of Utah's defense. DeSimone has six points, 32 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over a career-best 35 appearances this season.

DeSimone logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
DeSimone ended a 13-game point drought with the assist. He was also scratched 10 times in that span, but he hasn't been in the press box since Dec. 16. DeSimone has contributed four points, 20 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 11 hits over 21 appearances in a third-pairing role this season. He'll need to continue to play well to fend off Olli Maatta for playing time.

DeSimone played in his eighth straight game in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers, but his point drought is up to 11 contests.
DeSimone was scratched for 10 of 11 games between Nov. 28 and Dec. 16. While he's regained a spot in the lineup over Olli Maatta, DeSimone hasn't been able to get back on the scoresheet, which leaves him at risk of slipping back into a part-time role. He's at three points, 20 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Jan 6
DeSimone scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
DeSimone's shot through traffic found the net at 7:32 of the third period and held up as his second career game-winner. The 31-year-old defenseman already has three points in seven outings this season, compared to six points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. He's added 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating this year while playing a part-time role, though he was listed on the top pairing Saturday.
