Canadiens vs Mammoth Prediction

The Canadiens were 2-1 in their three meetings against the Mammoth last season, winning their only meeting in Utah by 5-3.

In this Canadiens vs Mammoth Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -138 home favorites. Both teams have been playing very good hockey this season and are both coming off wins in their previous matches. Utah has finally managed to bounce back, with back-to-back wins after a very bad stretch and they have been very strong at home this season. Montreal is also coming off a win that ended its previous five-game losing streak, but I don’t trust them on the road, as they have lost their last two road games. Utah has a far better defense and a better goaltending and I expect them to get the job done at home today. Take the Mammoth on the moneyline in this one.
