Mammoth vs Canadiens Prediction


It’s going to be interesting to see how the Canadiens rebound from that loss to the Jets. The Habs could either be motivated to get the nasty taste out of their mouth, or they could come out flat and depressed. First team ever to blow a four-goal lead with less than three minutes remaining. Yuck. I’m going to back the Mammoth due to the unknown. I have no idea what the Habs are going to look like taking the ice. Also, the Mammoth have been a strong road team this season with six wins. I’ll lay the low price with Utah on the road on Thursday night.
