Sharks vs Mammoth Prediction

In this Sharks vs Mammoth Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -200 home favorites. The Mammoth have more points this season but both teams have been struggling lately, as Utah has lost four straight games and San Jose is 2-8 in its last 10. The Mammoth have been weaker at home this season and their defense has been struggling big time, having allowed 4+ goals in three of their last four games, while having a terrible penalty kill, so they are clearly being overvalued as -200 favorites. I expect the Sharks to keep this within one goal so take them by +1.5 in this one.

Both teams are tied 3-3 in their 6 meetings and the Mammoth have won their last two meetings in Utah. Over is 4-2 in their 6 meetings.
