Mammoth vs Kings Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup fighting in the Western Conference wild card race, so this is a huge game for each side. The Kings are 10-16-8 at home this year, while the Mammoth are 18-16-3 on the road. Utah has lost three of their last four games, while LA has dropped four of their last five. Neither team is playing very well, but I think LA will get some revenge at home, after they lost in overtime to the Mammoth on March 22nd. Take the Kings to win here.
