Mammoths vs. Blackhawks Prediction

It’s hard to get behind the Blackhawks in their current form, as they can’t get anything going at either end of the ice and the losses are getting out of control. Meanwhile, the Mammoth keep putting up crooked numbers offensively and they’re at home, where they’ve won 18 games. These are two teams heading in different directions and that explains the price. I have to side with the Mammoth and of course I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
