Mammoth @ Oilers

Mammoth projected starting goalie: Karel Vejmelka @ Oilers projected starting goalie: Tristan Jarry

Utah's 5v5 edge meets an Edmonton team on a five-game win streak with a shaky projected starter.

Blending last season with this one, 5v5 xG% is 54.1 for the Mammoth and 51.3 for the Oilers. This season alone it is 61.1 (7 games) against 54.1 (6 games). Utah is 5-2 with goals 27-19 and 5v5 goals 16-10. Edmonton is 5-0-1 with goals 29-18 and 5v5 goals 19-11.

In goal, Vejmelka has a .896 SV% and +0.9 GSAx in 31 road games (19-9-1). This season he is .895 and +0.7 over six games, with -1.0 GSAx over his last five. He allowed four last time. Jarry's home line is .859 SV%, -10.5 GSAx in 13 games (6-5-1). This season: .837 and -3.5 in two starts, and he allowed one last time.

Edmonton has won five straight, most recently 4-1 at LA. Utah has won two in a row, including 5-4 over Toronto. The last meeting was a 6-5 Utah overtime win on April 7.

Both goalies are projected only. Devon Levi is 4-0 this season (.903, -0.2 GSAx) with +0.7 GSAx at home. Sebastian Cossa is 1-1 (.852, -1.1 GSAx) with -1.1 GSAx on the road.

In summary, Utah has the 5v5 edge and Edmonton has the streak and the goal difference. Whether Jarry's -10.5 home GSAx shows up, or Levi starts instead, is the key.
