Mammoth vs Ducks Prediction
You can make a case for either side, as these are two playoff teams. The Ducks may have the edge considering they didn’t play last night, but I’m riding with the Mammoth. Fresh off road wins over the Stars and Golden Knights, Utah comes back home feeling good about itself. The Mammoth also smoked the Ducks 7-0 on the road back in December. The Mammoth are having themselves a week and I like them coming back home. Give me the home team and the cheap price.
