Mammoth vs Red Wings Prediction
Both teams were tied 1-1 in their two meetings last season with each one winning on the road. The Mammoth won 4-2 in Detroit and the Red Wings 5-1 in Utah.
In this Mammoth vs Red Wings Prediction, the Red Wings are coming as -125 home favorites. The Red Wings have more points this season and have been red-hot lately, with a 5-1 record in their last 6 games. On the flip side, the Mammoth are on the second leg of a road back-to-back and are playing their third road game in four nights, so this is a tough scheduling spot for them. They are also 2-4 in their last 6 games and have a weaker power play than the Red Wings. I like the value with the home team in this spot, so take the Red Wings on the moneyline in this one.
