Montreal Canadiens vs Utah Mammoth Main Game Info

Montreal Canadiens vs Utah Mammoth Moneyline Prediction

The Mammoth will play a fourth straight contest at home and should be confident about their chances in this one. They’re riding a two-game winning streak while scoring eight times over that stretch. Their most recent victory was a dominant 5-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights – a night highlighted by Logan Cooley finding the net four times to set a new career-high mark.

The reality is that the Mammoth have been playing well at the Delta Center. Including overtime wins, they’ve come out on top in seven of their last 10 outings in front of their fans (W7, L3), and the losses have come against playoff-contending teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, the New York Islanders, and the Golden Knights. There’s not much to criticize there for Utah.

The Canadiens might be coming off a 5-2 victory in their heated rivalry matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it’s hard to get excited for Montreal based on their recent results. That victory over Toronto snapped a five-game losing streak, during which they gave up at least five goals three times. The issues on defence are noticeable for the Canadiens, and they’ll have a tough time dealing with a Mammoth attack that’s clearly on the rise.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Utah Mammoth Player Prop

Yes, we’re going with arguably one of the hottest players in the NHL right now. Even though it’s only one game, and acknowledging that the four-goal effort snapped a dreadful slump of just one goal and four total points over his last 11 appearances, Cooley simply can’t go overlooked here, especially at home. 

The 21-year-old playmaker has 21 points (13 goals, eight assists) in 23 outings this season, and he should be a good bet to lead Utah’s attack on their quest for a third straight win at home. Considering the Canadiens have had plenty of problems trying to slow down skilled centres with a keen eye for goal, this looks like a promising matchup for Cooley.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Utah Mammoth Same Game Parlay

A solid-looking parlay would be to ride the hot hand of Cooley, Utah’s confidence that stems from their ongoing winning run, and a relatively low scoring total that could easily happen due to Montreal’s ongoing defensive woes. The Canadiens have the third-worst defence in the Eastern Conference with 76 goals allowed in 21 games – good for 3.61 per encounter.

The Mammoth have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference at home (W7, L2, OT1), and only the league-leading Colorado Avalanche have won more games at their own venue than they have. As for the over/under on goals, it’s worth noting that each of Utah’s last nine home meetings has had at least five goals. Plus, the Canadiens have allowed at least three goals in each of their last five road encounters. Montreal’s defensive woes are simply too big to ignore here.

Last but not least, Cooley is coming off a four-goal performance against the Golden Knights on Monday, and he should be the team’s go-to scoring option against a defence that has allowed 24 goals in their last five games. Cooley’s playmaking and keen eye for goal will certainly pose all sorts of problems to a struggling Montreal defence.
