The Mammoth won both meetings against the Kraken this season, both at home by 6-3 and 5-3. They have lost both visits in Seattle since the team moved in Utah.
In this Mammoth vs Kraken Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -135 home favorites. Seattle is still on the chase for a playoff spot in the West while Utah is inside the top-8, but the Kraken have been struggling with a 1-6 record in their last 7 games. The Mammoth are just 4-3 in their last 7 games, but they have won three straight on the road and both meetings against the Kraken this season with a combined 11-6 score, so I expect them to get the job done on the road in this one.
