Devils vs Mammoth Prediction
The Devils found themselves in a dogfight against the Flyers as big favorites and got smoked by the Islanders, a team that usually can’t score. The Mammoth are battle-tested out of the gate with a pair of road games, and they’ve held their own. In fact, the Mammoth have been one of the better teams in the league dating back to the end of the last regular season. The Mammoth have won 8 of their last 12 regular season games, and they’re getting after it defensively. I’ll side with the Mammoth and the plus money, especially after what we just saw from the Devils.
