Kings vs. Mammoth Pick
Kings vs. Mammoth Moneyline Pick
- Kings +100
The Kings have been excellent on the road this season, posting a 9-2-4 mark as the visiting team compared to a 4-6-3 mark at home. They haven’t been intimidated playing on the road and they get a crack at a Mammoth squad that has exceeded expectations to this point of the season. Utah is playing their third game in four nights here and return home after a six-game road swing. The Mammoth couldn’t dent the twine against the lowly Flames and has to deal with a Kings squad that is one of the stingiest in the league in goals against this season. Take Los Angeles in this one as they earn the road win.
