The Pittsburgh Penguins will face the Utah Mammoth on Saturday night. The Penguins come into this one dropping 6 of their last 8 games. On the season, they rank fifth in the Eastern Conference — but it is a tight race for the playoffs. The issue for the Penguins is that they have given up 24 goals over the past 5 games. Their defensive play has been below average, and without Sydney Crosby their offense seems to be lacking. Additionally, they are projected to start Stuart Skinner — who has lost his last 5 starts with the opposing teams scoring 3+ goals in 4 of those games.

The Mammoth are riding a 3-game losing streak, but 2 of those losses have come in overtime. This season they rank fifth in the Western Conference. While the 3 losses is discouraging, the Mammoth are better at home. At home, they have 39 points through 31 games while scoring 104 goals and only allowing 83 goals. On the season, they are scoring 3.11 goals per game while only allowing 2.79 goals. Overall, I believe that the Mammoth at home will get the best of a struggling Penguins defense. Give me the Mammoth on the money line.
