Utah Mammoth Look to Extend Streak
The Utah Mammoth are 8-2-0, including a strong 4-2-0 record on the road. Utah’s offense continues to perform well, averaging 3.70 goals per game while the blue line allows just 2.40. Nick Schmaltz has been the leader of the attack, with 16 points on seven goals and nine assists. The Mammoth have also benefited from strong goaltending, with Karel Vejmelka holding a 2.43 goals-against average and .905 save percentage, while Vitek Vanecek is a strong backup with a 2.01 GAA and .913 SV%. Vejmelka is 6-1 this season and lis expected to get the call in net on Tuesday.
Utah’s scoring remains balanced across all lines, supported by a blue line that contributes in transition. The Mammoth are generating 30.2 shots per game while limiting opponents to 24.9, which shows they have strong puck possession on attack and limit shot opportunities in their own end. The power play sits at 22.2 percent, but the penalty kill is below average at 72.7 percent. The Mammoth’s recent form shows how strong they have played on attack, outscoring opponents 23–13 over the last five games.
The Mammoth extended their winning streak to seven with a 3-2 road victory in Winnipeg on Sunday. Dylan Guenther’s late third-period goal broke a 2-2 tie, capping off a comeback that featured assists from Logan Cooley and JJ Peterka. Michael Carcone and Mikhail Sergachev also scored, while Vanecek turned aside 28 shots. Utah’s ability to respond quickly after back-to-backs in Minnesota and Winnipeg was evidence of the team’s conditioning.

Edmonton Oilers Aim to Rebound at Home
The Edmonton Oilers hold a 4-4-2 record and remain unbeaten in regulation at home (2-0-1). Connor McDavid leads the team with 12 points, including 11 assists, while Leon Draisaitl continues to carry the scoring load with seven goals, with four on the power play. Edmonton’s offensive numbers sit at 2.90 goals per game with 31 percent success on the power play, which is among the biggest strengths of the team early in the season.

Calvin Pickard made 23 saves in the loss, which saw Edmonton rally from a 3-1 deficit before allowing the winner 1:42 into overtime.

Utah Mammoth at Edmonton Oilers Pick
Spread Pick for Utah Mammoth at Edmonton Oilers
- Utah Mammoth (4 Units)
Utah’s balance between scoring and goaltending gives them the advantage against an Edmonton team still trying to correct its early-season problems on defense. The Mammoth have won seven straight and have outshot opponents by wide margins, while the Oilers have dropped consecutive games by a single goal. If Utah continues its 3.70 goals-per-game pace and maintains its dominant puck control, the game favors the visitors despite Edmonton’s home-ice advantage.
Over/Under Pick for Utah Mammoth at Edmonton Oilers
- Over 6.5 (4 Units)
Both teams feature star offensive talent and strong power plays, with Utah converting 22.2 percent of chances and Edmonton at 31.0 percent. The Mammoth’s last five games have averaged 5.8 total goals, while the Oilers’ recent stretch has hit 6.4 per contest. With scorers like Schmaltz, Draisaitl, and McDavid on the ice, and neither side showing lockdown penalty killing, the scoring will result in the total finishing over the closing number.
