The Florida Panthers will face the Utah Mammoth at 9 p.m. EST on Wednesday. Both teams have followed a fairly similar trajectory throughout the season, with each getting off to a hot start before suffering stretches of losing play. While the Panthers have managed to regain composure to rattle off a couple of consecutive wins, the Mammoth enter this contest having lost their last two and six of their last eight.
As their record might reflect, the Panthers have been mediocre in most statistical categories this year, leading to a 14-12-2 record. The offense has remained extremely streaky, at times looking like one of the most dangerous in the NHL, while being seemingly incapable of scoring a goal at other times. The defense resides in the middle of the pack in nearly every major defensive category, indicating that the Panthers are likely to stay in the middle of the league’s standings. The Mammoth are in a similar position, so a road win could help Florida begin to separate from the pack and march towards a playoff position.
The Mammoth is one of, if not the, streakiest teams in the league. When they lose, they lose multiple games in a row, as shown in their recent strings of four losses apiece. Luckily, wins have also come in bunches for Utah, largely thanks to the play of centers Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, who have 28 and 26 points, respectively. The defense has also provided solid play, only letting up 2.90 goals per contest. If their recent history is any indication, the Mammoth are set to lose this game, but the Panthers are not a difficult team to rebound against.

For as streaky as the Mammoth have been, it is difficult to justify picking against them in this game. The Panthers have a massive list of injuries, and missing three centers should allow the Mammoth to have an easier time on the defensive side of things on Wednesday. With the money line odds giving each team what amounts to a 50-50 shot, the best play is to take Utah to win at home.
