Jets vs Mammoth Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Mammoth won 3-2 in Winnipeg and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Jets.
In this Jets vs Mammoth Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -120 home favorites. The Jets saw Connor Hellebuyck return between the pipes but that didn’t change their big slump there are currently on, as they are 1-6 in their last 7 games and have been on a free fall on the road, as they are 1-7 in their last 8 road games. The Mammoth are 3-2 in their last 5 games and have already won the Jets once this season, so I like them as small home favorites in this spot. Take the Mammoth on the moneyline in this one.
