In this Mammoth vs Canadiens Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. Both teams have exactly 9 wins this season but the Habs have been very good at home with 4 wins, while the Mammoth are mediocre on the road. Both teams have just one win in their last 6 games combined, so I don’t like either side in this matchup. Both teams average 7 goals per game combined this season and they are 11-3 to the over in their last 14 games combined. Take the over 6 goals in this one.
