Jets vs Mammoth Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup searching for a much needed win, as they continue to perform well below expectations. The Jets are 7-10-1 on the road this year, while the Mammoth are 8-6-1 at home. Utah has lost two of their last three games, but they have scored at least four goals in three of their last five. These two teams are very similar when looking at the numbers and even with Winnipeg struggling to find any sort of momentum, I think they have the goalie advantage. Take Winnipeg to get a big win here.
