Mammoth vs Golden Knights Prediction
The Golden Knights are the veteran team that has playoff experience they can lean on but I need a juicier price to give them a look on the road. If you’re giving me a pick ’em price in a playoff game, I’m usually going to lean toward the home team.
The Mammoth have won 4 of the last 5 games against the Golden Knights and they’ve had a field day offensively in these meetings. The Mammoth have scored 3 or more goals in 5 of the last 7 games against the Golden Knights. Utah is comfortable with this matchup. Throw in the home ice and the cheap price, and I’m going to roll with the Mammoth.
