Our Pittsburgh Penguins vs Utah Mammoth Prediction
Utah has been the stronger team this season, with an 8-5-0 record compared to Pittsburgh at 5-6-1. The Mammoth are averaging 3.62 goals per game, with Clayton Keller leading the team in points and Nick Schmaltz leading in goals. Utah also defeated Pittsburgh 5-4 earlier this month, showing the Mammoth can put goals on the board against the Penguins.
Pittsburgh has won two straight, but the Penguins are allowing 3.25 goals per game. That will be a problem against a Utah team that has been scoring consistently. The Mammoth have the better offense and should take advantage of Pittsburgh's defensive problems.
Our pick for Pittsburgh Penguins vs Utah Mammoth is: Mammoth win.
