The current betting odds have the Mammoth listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mammoth have looked good in their games this season with their 34-26-6 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West. They have looked good on home ice too with their 18-10-3 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Penguins have looked good in their games this season with their 32-18-15 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the East. They have been a good road team too with their 16-9-7 road record this year. The Penguins have played well in road games this year, but they are off a bad loss in their last one and haven't looked that good lately either. They are only 4-3-3 in their last 10 games and they are off a 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights in their last one. They have also lost 2 games in a row now and they are starting to cool off now as they start this road trip. Even in their recent wins, they have had a lot of trouble lately and they have been giving up a ton of goals in their few games too. The Mammoth haven't looked any better lately as they are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games, but they have looked a lot better on home ice this year and will be looking to bounce back after losing 3 games in a row now. They are off a 3-2 home loss to the Blackhawks in their last one which was a tight game too. The Penguins are starting to cool down at the wrong time as they start this road trip and this is a great situation for the Mammoth to get a much needed bounce back win where they have played their best this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mammoth to win this game.
