Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction
I’m on the Mammoth here. It’s not a game I’m necessarily rushing to bet because the Mammoth haven’t been in great form as of late. However, Utah’s also been at their best at home and I trust their defense and goaltending a lot more right now as the Penguins just can’t keep the puck out of the net. I’ll side with Utah to get the win here.
