The Utah Mammoth and Detroit Red Wings are both back in action on Wednesday night after differing results last night.
Utah lost 4-1 in Boston, while Detroit came away with a 3-2 win over the Islanders at home.
My Mammoth vs. Red Wings prediction is expecting a low-scoring game in Detroit.
Read on as I break down my NHL picks for Wednesday, December 17.
Mammoth vs Red Wings prediction
Mammoth vs Red Wings best bet: Under 6.5 (-125)
The Utah Mammoth and Detroit Red Wings have both struggled offensively in the second half of a back-to-back situation this season.
Utah is 1-4-1 with 1.67 goals per game, and Detroit has gone 1-3-1 with 1.8 goals per contest.
That’s resulted in the Under hitting in four of the six games for Utah and three of five for Detroit. I expect those trends to continue tonight.
Both teams are without a top-six winger as Utah’s Logan Cooley is out long-term, and Patrick Kane will miss at least the next few games for Detroit.
This should be a slow-paced, low-scoring game between two tired teams.
