Blue line to crease — NHL picks for Utah Mammoth vs. Nashville Predators without the fluff.
Mammoth Looking to Attack
The Utah Mammoth, positioned in seventh place in the Central Division with a 0-1-0 record, head into this game looking to bounce back. The latest game against the Colorado Avalanche on the road 2-1 was a loss and they were able to keep it close against one of the most talented rosters in the sport.
Offensively, Utah has been doing a terrible job at finding the back of the net, averaging 1.00 goals per game, which is 30th in the sport. The Mammoth’s power play has been at a great level, converting at a 33.3% clip, showcasing their ability to take advantage of their opponent’s mistakes at times. Their defensive game shows they are going to be alright, conceding an average of 2.00 goals against per game, highlighting an area of comfort at this point of the season.
On the goaltending front, goaltender Karel Vejmelka is going to need to continue stepping up in the net for this game and is 0-1-0 with a .917 save percentage and 2.06 goals per game given up. As we see Utah take the ice, expect them to be more aggressive with the puck.

Predators Looking to Keep Winning
The Nashville Predators, playing at a strong level up to this point as they are in third place in the Central Division with a 1-0-0 record early on, face a team that is playing at a lesser level. Their recent game at home against the Blue Jackets, a 2-1 win, reflects a team that can control the game. Center Ryan O’Reilly is leading the franchise with one point (one goal, zero assists). The Preds are navigating through with three players on the injury report, and only one of them is already ruled out for this game.
Nashville’s offensive output has been terrible thus far, with the team sitting in 23rd place in the league for goals scored, averaging 2.00 goals per game. The Predators’ power play, operating at a 25.0% success rate, and their penalty kill at 100.0%, highlight areas of the game that are clicking for them so far.
Goaltending is one of the team’s strong suits, with Juuse Saros doing a good job this year as he is 1-0-0 with a .974 save percentage and 1.00 goals allowed per game. This team needs to continue excelling if they want to be a playoff contender this season.

Utah Mammoth vs. Nashville Predators Pick
Spread Pick for Mammoth vs. Predators
- Utah Mammoth -120 (4 units)
Nashville seems to be backing on some veterans they brought in ahead of last season on multi-year deals to step up after a rough 2024-25 season. However, the team severely underperformed and it is difficult to believe they will be able to keep up with a young Utah team. Adding forward JJ Peterka in the offseason and locking him up to a five-year deal definitely adds a young talent that can grow into an even better player with more opportunities after being traded from Buffalo. All in all, go with the Utah Mammoth on the road to record the win.
Over/Under Pick for Mammoth vs. Predators
- Over 5.5 (4 units)
Having Karel Vejmelka and Juuse Saros in the net is going to be interesting to see how these offenses do as both goaltenders started the year exactly how they wanted to statistically. Both teams combined for three total goals in their first game of the season, but Utah and Nashville showed signs of being aggressive with the puck and allowing a lot of shots. Utah’s injury report and Nashville having right winger depth issues allows for more scoring opportunities for the opposing offense to take advantage of. Go with over 5.5 total goals to be scored.
