In this Oilers vs Mammoth Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -135 home favorites. Both teams have been playing excellent offense so far this season, as the Oilers are second only to the Avalanche in goals per game and the Mammoth are 5^th, as both teams average 8.3 goals per game combined. Utah has an excellent power play and both teams shaky penalty kill, so I expect goals in this one. Their four meetings before Thursday’s meeting all went over the total, so I will go over the 6.5 in this one.
