Mammoth vs Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on Vegas in this one. I just think that the Golden Knights are still the better team on paper here. While the Mammoth have put out some solid defensive performances as of late, I still have my concerns with the Mammoth from a goal-scoring perspective. I think that Vegas can take advantage here. We just saw Vegas beat up Utah a few days ago, and I think the same can happen here, even though we switch arenas. Give me Vegas in this one.
