Mammoth vs Canadiens Prediction

In this Mammoth vs Canadiens Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -120 road favorites. I trust more the Canadiens at home as underdogs in this spot, as they have won five of their last six games and are looking to bounce back after an epic meltdown, where they lost after having a 4-0 lead over the Jets. On the flip side, the Mammoth have not managed to string a second straight win or loss for the last three weeks and have a weaker offense than the Habs and a bad penalty kill. The Canadiens won both meetings against the Mammoth last season with a combined 10-5 score and I expect them to get the job done at home today. Take the Canadiens on the moneyline for plus money.

The Canadiens have won their last three meetings against the Mammoth but are 1-1 in their two meetings in Montreal. Their last three meetings have all gone over the total.
