Utah Mammoth vs. Washington Capitals Prediction
I’m on the Capitals in this game. I just think that Utah is a team I much prefer to back at home and Washington put up a dud in Montreal but I still think that the Capitals have the better goaltending depth and the more potent offensive unit here so give me Washington in this one.
