Mammoth vs Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. Both teams are struggling, but the Rangers have at least shown an ability to win games on the road this season. Utah just doesn’t have it offensively right now, as the defense can only do so much before you realize that to win games you have to outscore the other team. I’ll back New York in this one.
