The Mammoth have seen 9 of their 12 losses come on the road this season, and they’re in rough shape overall right now. The Mammoth are having issues finishing games and are leaving points on the table. The Ducks have 9 wins on their home ice, and one of those wins came a couple of weeks ago against these very Mammoth. You can argue the Ducks should be bigger favorites at home. Pick ’em price, I’ll gladly side with the Ducks.
