Golden Knights vs Mammoth Prediction

The Knights were 2-1 in their three meetings against the Mammoth last season, winning their only meeting in Utah by 4-2. 

In this Golden Knights vs Mammoth Prediction, the Knights are coming as -115 road favorites. Both teams have almost the same number of points this season, but the Mammoth have been on a free fall lately, as they are 1-7 in their last 8 games, but are still almost perfect at home. Vegas has been also very strong on the road, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are a combined 7-1 to the under 6.5 goals, as they average 6.26 goals per game combined, while allowing just 5.89 goals per game combined defensively. Take the under 6.5 goals in this one.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Under 6.5
