Flames vs Mammoth Prediction

The Flames have played their best hockey at home this season but they look more and more like a team that’s waved the white flag and is ready for the season to end. The Flames aren’t putting in any effort defensively and the offense has produced a combined two goals in their last two games. The Mammoth was on a heater until yesterday and there’s no reason they can’t get back on track with the way the Flames are defending. I have to roll with the Mammoth on the road.
