Nashville Predators vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction
I’m on the over here. Utah’s played in a ton of high-scoring games as of late and I honestly expect this game to be no different when all is said and done. The Predators have shown that they can hang offensively against some solid competition themselves as of late, and in the end I expect a bit of a track meet here. Give me the over.
