B- for the Mammoth…What has gone right? There has been enough of a sample size that proves the Mammoth could have something good with their current roster. A seven-game winning streak was part of a sequence that saw them open the regular season winning eight of their first 10 games.
One reason why they were in the top five in giving up the fewest goals per game in that span is because they were also a top-five team when it came to giving up the fewest shots per game. They were also in the top five of most shots per game, which translated into them being in the top five of goals scored per game.
What has gone wrong? There also has been enough of a sample size that proves the Mammoth still need more. Consider how they've performed since that seven-game winning streak ended Oct. 28. They've had a pair of three-game losing streaks, with their second such streak reaching four. It's part of a larger sequence that has seen them lose nine of their 12 most recent games.
In that span, they're in the bottom four in terms of goals scored per game and are in the bottom 10 in terms of giving up the most goals per game.
