Mammoth vs Sabres Prediction
Utah won both meetings against Buffalo last season, at home by 5-2 and on the road by 5-2 as well.In this Mammoth vs Sabres Prediction, the Mammoth are coming as -130 road favorites. Utah is the better team in this matchup but they are coming off back-to-back losses, while Buffalo just snapped their previous three-game losing streak and have been strong at home ice. I like the value with the home dog in this matchup, who also have the better goaltending, so take the Buffalo Sabres on the moneyline for plus money.
