Blues vs Mammoth Prediction


I’m not running to the window to back the Blues on the road, where they’ve lost six times. The problem is the Mammoth are on the end of a back-to-back and are in bad form right now. The Mammoth have lost three straight games and four of their last five games. The Mammoth have allowed 14 goals in their last three games. Defensive issues usually don’t improve at the end of a back-to-back when guys are dealing with potentially tired legs.

The Blues can get shot attempts up, and with the rest advantage, should like their chances. If forced to get involved in this spot, I’m going to side with the Blues. It’s a battle of two struggling teams. I want the team that has rest on its side.
