2024-25 season series: Ducks won 2-1
The Mammoth have dropped 4 of 5 after a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders Friday. They were -215 home faves in that one. RW Dylan Guenther netted his seventh goal, but No. 1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer tickled the twine 2:08 into the extra session.
The Ducks dropped their third straight Saturday in a 2-0 defeat at the Minnesota Wild to conclude a 3-game road trip. They were +106 dogs in that one. The Ducks managed 28 shots, but had to kill 7 power plays, and credit to them for doing so. C Leo Carlsson is developing into a star.

Mammoth at Ducks picks and predictionsPrediction
Mammoth 5, Ducks 4
This is a get-right game for both squads, and I’m leaning MAMMOTH (-115). Anaheim C Mikael Granlund (lower body) missed the Minnesota game with a lower-body injury, and the Ducks just don’t have the depth to compete with a deep Mammoth team.
Give me CLAYTON KELLER OVER 2.5 SHOTS ON GOAL (-140). He has cashed this in 3 of 4 games and scored a goal in 2 of the 3 meetings last season.
This is an easy OVER 6.5 (-110) for me. Surprisingly, the Ducks are tied for second in the sport with 3.67 goals per game. The Mammoth have cashed 4 of 5 Overs, and 2 of the 3 meetings went Over last season.
