Utah Mammoth vs. Chicago Blackhawks Prediction
I’m on the under here. I think Utah’s defense stymies a struggling Chicago offense, but on the other side, I’m not banking on a ton of goals from the Mammoth in this game either. I think it’s going to end up being lower-scoring, so give me the under here.
