Two in-form teams go head-to-head in the NHL on Monday as the Tampa Bay Lightning welcome the Utah Mammoth to the Benchmark International Arena.
Both teams are 8-1-1 over the last 10 games, and Utah has won five games in a row. After slumping in December, the Mammoth have started to make noise in 2026. Andre Tourigny’s team has lost only two of 11 outings in January.
Utah’s goaltending has been excellent lately, and the team’s offense has heated up. Led by the trio of Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz, and Dylan Guenther, the Mammoth have bagged 4.4 goals per game since the calendar was flipped.
The Lightning have also leaned on their offense, averaging the second-most goals in the league (3.48). Nikita Kucherov, the 2019 league MVP, is having another special season, and the entire team is chipping in with goals.
Jon Cooper’s team recently won 11 games in a row and went 15 straight outings without a regulation loss, until the Columbus Blue Jackets handed the Lightning an 8-5 defeat on Saturday night.
On Monday, Kucherov and his crew will look to show character by bouncing back from the disappointing loss. Tampa Bay hasn’t lost consecutive games since a three-game skid in mid-December.

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Utah Mammoth Prediction
This is a mouthwatering matchup between two streaking teams, and there should be a lot of quality hockey on display in Tampa on Monday night. On current form, nothing separates the two, and the game could go either way.
Still, the bookmakers consider the Lightning odds-on favorites for the clash. They have dropped only a couple of games over the last five weeks and are expected to return to winning ways. However, it won’t be easy to slow down Utah’s hot offense, which could gain extra confidence from the fact that Tampa Bay allowed eight goals last time out.
Our prediction for Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Utah Mammoth: Mammoth over 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
