Golden Knights vs Mammoth Game 6 prediction

Who will win Golden Knights vs Mammoth Game 6?

Mammoth: The Mammoth have scored at least four goals in three consecutive games. They’re generating a lot of offense and will have a good chance of evening the series if Karel Vejmelka can get back to the .900 save percentage range.

Golden Knights vs Mammoth best bet: Dylan Guenther Over 3.5 shots on goal (-140)

Getting Dylan Guenther the puck in shooting position has been the top priority for the Utah Mammoth in this series, and they’ve done a great job of it.

He has averaged 5.2 shots on 11 attempts through five games, going over his total in each.

Nobody on the Mammoth has come close to that kind of volume. Nick Schmaltz ranks second on the team in attempts, and he is averaging 5.6, just over half of Guenther’s output.

In a do-or-die game on home ice, Guenther should be aggressive while logging a ton of ice.

Golden Knights vs Mammoth Game 6 same-game parlay

The Mammoth have generated 8.09 expected goals and 58 scoring chances with Logan Cooley on the ice, most of any player. That has only translated to six on-ice goals and three points. He deserves more production, and it should come if he continues feeding Guenther.

Pavel Dorofeyev has cleared 2.5 shots in four consecutive games. His two best shooting performances came in Games 4 and 5, which align with a promotion to the Vegas Golden Knights' top line alongside Jack Eichel. He has four goals over those two games and plenty of incentive to keep shooting.

Golden Knights vs Mammoth SGP

  • Dylan Guenther Over 3.5 shots on goal

  • Pavel Dorofeyev Over 2.5 shots on goal

Golden Knights vs Mammoth Game 6 goal scorer pick

Nick Schmaltz (+225)

The Golden Knights have the lowest team save percentage in the playoffs at 5-on-5, and Schmaltz leads the Mammoth in high-danger chances during that game state. He’s a likely candidate to capitalize on Carter Hart’s struggles.
