Edmonton Oilers vs Utah Mammoth Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/24/26

It’s clear that the Edmonton Oilers are still adjusting to life without Leon Draisaitl in the lineup. Draisaitl sustained a lower body injury last week against the Predators, and was placed on lone term IR last week. The Oilers are 1-2-0 without him, and have scored just 2 total goals over their last 2 games. This will be Edmonton’s first road game without Draisaitl available, and a tough assignment awaits in Salt Lake City going up against the Mammoth. Andre Tourigny’s squad is 19-12-3 on home ice this season, and enter this matchup with wins in 3 of their last 4 games overall.

Utah continues to play solid defense, as they are allowing just 26.1 shots on goal per game to their opponents, which ranks 5th in the NHL. That kind of solid defensive structure has helped goaltender Karel Vejmelka rack up 32 wins so far this season, which is the 2nd-most in the league. Utah’s offensive attack has been fairly up-and-down this season, but they appear to be up right now by scoring 4 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 games. Clayton Keller and company have a favorable matchup in this one, as Edmonton’s goaltending situation continues to be an utter disaster. The move to acquire Tristan Jarry has not panned out as planned, which has led to Connor Ingram getting the majority of the starts lately. He owns a save percentage of .890 through 22 starts, and has allowed 11 goals over his last 3 starts. Playing on home ice, back the Mammoth on the moneyline.
