Anaheim Ducks vs Utah Mammoth Betting Picks

Utah comes off an impressive 4-0 win at Vegas on Thursday after defeating Dallas 6-3 on Monday. Karel Vejmelka finished with 28 saves, and Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill was pulled after allowing three goals on his first three shots. Vitek Vanecek is likely to start in this back-to-back spot for the Mammoth, and he has won three of his past four starts, including the win over the Stars. He has a 2.76 goals-against average, and Vanecek has yielded nine goals in four games. Anaheim has lost four of six following a 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. Lukas Dostal is probable, and he owns a 3.08 goals-against average and a .891 save percentage for the Ducks. Utah destroyed the Ducks 7-0 at Anaheim in the last meeting on Dec. 3. Take the Mammoth on the puckline.

Utah suffered a tough 3-2 overtime loss at Anaheim in the first meeting on Nov. 17, and now the Mammoth look to avenge that defeat while also ending a current four-game slide. Troy Terry tied it with 4.1 seconds remaining in regulation, and Olen Zellweger won it for the Ducks in OT. Utah is 3-0-1 OVER in its past four games with one day of rest, and Anaheim has gone OVER in four of its past five games. The Ducks are 12-2-2 OVER against teams that allowed at least five goals in their previous game. Utah has gone OVER its past six Wednesday road games. Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka is likely to start, and he is out to redeem himself after allowing three goals in 13 minutes against San Jose. Vejmelka is still 10-7-2 with a 2.87 goals-against average this season. The Ducks are playing their third game in four days, and the first two were on the road. Take the Mammoth and the OVER. 

Anaheim has cooled off considerably, losing three consecutive road games. The Ducks scored four goals in those three games, including a 2-0 shutout by Minnesota on Saturday. Utah has won six of seven against the Western Conference, and the Mammoth will look to bounce back from a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Friday. Anaheim's youth is showing some growing pains, with some dumb penalties that disrupt any momentum, forcing them to go to the penalty kill. On the flip side, the Ducks were shut out on the power play on the road trip. Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka is 8-4-1 with a 2.84 goals-against average. Take the Mammoth.
