Golden Knights vs Mammoth Prediction
The Mammoth are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Golden Knights but the Knights are 2-1 in their last three visits in Utah. Under is 5-0-2 in their last 7 meetings.
In this Golden Knights vs Mammoth Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The series moves to Utah with both teams having split wins in Vegas, but since the total is still set at 6 goals, I will stick with the under in this matchup. None of their five meetings this season had more than six total goals and as the series progresses, defenses will tighten. Both teams were top-12 defensively in the regular season, allowing less than six goals per game combined. Take the under 6.
