Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Main Game Info

Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Moneyline Prediction

The Canadiens were less than four minutes away from a sixth straight win last time out, but they let the game slip away against the Winnipeg Jets, surrendering a 4-0 third-period lead before losing 5-4 in overtime. With five wins in its last six outings and a 7-1-2 record over its last 10, Montreal has been playing at a high level recently.

The Mammoth have been extremely inconsistent lately. They have alternated wins and losses over their last eight games (4-4-0), with two victories coming in overtime. Utah has won six of its last 10 contests and four of its last six on the road.

Montreal has won four of its last six at home. It not only has the better recent record but also holds a slight goaltending advantage. Those factors should help the Canadiens bounce back with a win.

Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Projected Starting Goalies

Vejmelka has given up four or more goals in four of his last five starts (4.67 GAA). Meanwhile, Fowler has lost just once in regulation this season. The Canadiens therefore have the edge in net.

Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Player Prop

Cole Caufield scored twice in Tuesday’s loss to the Jets, and the star winger has scored four goals in his last three appearances. With Nick Suzuki (hand) and Ivan Demidov (ankle) sidelined, Caufield has taken on an even bigger offensive role. He’s averaging 18:40 TOI/G, regularly skating on the top line, and has recorded 10 goals in just 15 appearances.

Averaging 3.2 shots on goal per game, Caufield has the role and shooting volume to make him a strong candidate to score against a Utah team whose goaltending has let down a defence that ranks sixth in xGA.

Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Total Goals Prediction

The Mammoth rank seventh in the NHL in goals scored per game (3.56), but they’ve been much less effective defensively, sitting 23rd in goals allowed (3.38). The Canadiens also rank slightly better offensively (13th, 3.33) than defensively (15th, 3.13).

With Utah’s games averaging 6.94 total goals and Montreal’s 6.46, the over is a fair play. Expect an open contest, driven by the Mammoth’s chance creation. They rank second in xGF at 42.62, and Montreal sits 15th at 32.34.

Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens Team News and Injury Report

Utah Mammoth Team News and Injury Report

The Mammoth are close to full strength. Their only question mark is Kailer Yamamoto, who’s listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. If he can’t play, Liam O’Brien could see additional ice time.

Logan Cooley, meanwhile, has recorded three multi-point performances in his last six outings and scored five goals in his last five. Clayton Keller has also been productive, with seven assists over his last five appearances.

This is the fourth outing of the Mammoth’s six-game road trip. They’ve had just one day of rest.

Montreal Canadiens Team News and Injury Report

The Canadiens could receive a significant boost, as Nick Suzuki (hand) is day-to-day and could return as soon as Thursday. If he’s available, he’d move straight onto the first line, sending Alex Newhook to the second line.

However, Montreal would still be short of full strength offensively, even if Suzuki returns. Ivan Demidov (ankle) isn’t expected to resume practising until next week, while Kirby Dach is also sidelined with an illness. As a result, Josh Anderson has taken on a bigger role as a top-six forward.

This clash marks the end of a three-game homestand for the Canadiens, who have gone 1-0-1 in that stretch. Like Utah, they last played on Tuesday, meaning both teams will have just one day of rest.
