In this Mammoth vs Bruins Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -120 road favorites. the Mammoth have been the far better team this season and we are getting them in a discount price. They have only one loss this season and have scored 15 goals in their three wins, while on the other hand, the Bruins are coming off back-to-back wins, where they scored just one goal in each game. They have yet to score a power play goal, while the Mammoth have a whopping 61% power play, so I expect them to get the job done on the road in this one.
