Vegas Golden Knights vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction
I’m on the Mammoth here. This has been one of the tougher series to project in the entire playoffs so far, but Utah has played their best at home all season long, and the Golden Knights are back to being that team that struggled through much of the early part of the year, as the power play has struggled and the offense has dried up, with Utah’s defensive style that they played with for much of the year coming out to play in this series. I just think Utah’s getting the better price at home when they’ve been the better team here so give me the Mammoth.
