Blues vs Mammoth Prediction

The Mammoth are 2-1 in their three meetings against the Blues this season, having won their only meeting in Utah by 4-2 and are 4-3 in their seven meetings since the team moved in Utah.

In this Blues vs Mammoth Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -115 home favorites. The Mammoth have secured the 5th place in the West and are set to face Vegas in the first round of the playoffs and with the Blues already eliminated, both teams have nothing to play for, so I will not pick a side. I expect a high-scoring affair as both teams were 10-3 to the over in their last 13 games combined and with the total set at 6 goals, we also have push protection. Five of their last seven head-to-head meetings had at least six goals scored, so go with the over 6.
