Utah Mammoth vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/17/25

The Utah Mammoth continue their road trip with a stop in Detroit to face the Red Wings. Utah is coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss to the Bruins just 24 hours ago and has lost three of its last five games. They are an above-average defensive team, but lately, keeping the puck out of their net has been a challenge. Their road record is also quite disappointing, sitting at 8-11-2 this season. They have the skills to score goals and win hockey games, but recently, they haven’t been able to figure it out.

Detroit is currently finishing a back-to-back and playing three games in four nights. They have been on a strong winning streak lately, having won four of their last five games. Although their goaltending has been inconsistent throughout the season, they managed to record two shutouts in those last five games. Their power play is performing well at 23.8%, which helps compensate for their below-average performance at even strength. Utah does not allow many shots, so Detroit will need to maximize every opportunity. Overall, Detroit is the stronger team, with a solid home record. They are just one win shy of 20 for the season, and we like their chances of achieving that milestone tonight.
