Hurricanes vs. Mammoth Picks and Predictions
Spread pick for Hurricanes vs. Mammoth
- Utah Moneyline -115 (4 units)
The Mammoth still have more to play for, as they are still battling it out for seeding in the playoffs. Carolina already has their spot at the top of the division locked up, and will have to deal with this red hot Utah team that has won each of their last five games coming into this contest. Utah is strong defensively, where they are 5th in the league in goals allowed on the year. This will come in to play, as well as Carolina possibly giving some extra rest to their top players as they do not need to win this game.
Take Utah to win.

Over/Under Pick for Hurricanes vs. Mammoth
- Over 6.5 (4 units)
This is a relatively low number to get over, and the way these two teams have been scoring lately, it seems like the obvious play. Carolina has scored 13 goals over the past two games, while also allowing seven. This helps our push for the over. Add this to the fact that Utah has scored six or more in four of their last five games, and it seems clear this will be a high scoring game. It is late in the season, with playoffs looming for both teams, the defensive physicality might take a step back while the scoring remains high.
Take the over.
