Utah Mammoth vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction, Odds and Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 5 Picks for Today, 04/29/26

The Utah Mammoth and Vegas Golden Knights hit the ice for Game 5 in their first-round NHL series. This has been a back and forth series where both teams have shown promise, but Game 5 is all-important where one may be able to finally take control of the series. It is time for our Mammoth vs. Golden Knights prediction to get you prepared.

Vegas is coming off a massive overtime road win in a very tough building to avoid a 3-1 series deficit. Now, they return to their home ice and are riding a ton of momentum after that emotional victory. Some key players in Vegas had a very slow start to the series, but as it progresses, more begin to make their mark and find themselves on the scoresheet. Vegas is a veteran group led by a veteran coach, and as the young and high-flying Mammoth now hit the road for a crucial game, I believe some pressure will now be felt within the dressing room. Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka is coming off a poor game, posting a .861 save percentage. The jury is still out on Vejmelka, as this is his first playoff series of his career, and Vegas has only taken 4 high-danger shots, which is the second-least amount in the entire playoffs. His play is a major factor in this game, and against an accelerating Vegas team, he could be in for yet another tough challenge. On home ice, I expect Vegas to get the job done. Side with them on the money line for our Mammoth vs. Golden Knights prediction.
