Dallas Stars vs Utah Mammoth Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 01/31/26

Saturday in the NHL brings us a big-time Western Conference matchup when the Utah Mammoth host the Dallas Stars. This is the third of four matchups between the Central Division opponents, and the teams have split the previous 2 meetings. Here is our Stars vs. Mammoth prediction to get you set for the action.

These teams have done very well in many aspects this season, but what has really impressed has been their defensive efforts. The Stars (2.74 goals against per game) and Mammoth (2.80 goals against per game) rank 5th and 6th respectively in NHL goals against average, and I see this being the story of the game. While there is an 11-point gap between the two in the standings, both are highly capable of pulling off a win, so I expect it to be a close game, with an almost playoff-like atmosphere. Both teams have penalty kills that hover decently near 80%, and both are within the top-12 of least amount of shots given up per game. When these teams met on January 15, it was a 2-1 finish. 

Stars vs. Mammoth prediction: Under 5.5 (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number to (-110).
