Utah Mammoth vs Buffalo Prediction 13 November 2025
🔊 Utah will host Buffalo at their arena in Salt Lake City as part of the NHL regular season. The hosts have significantly slowed down after a rather successful start and find themselves on the verge of dropping out of the Western Conference playoff spots. The visitors, meanwhile, have quickly returned to their usual position at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The club is once again experiencing a true crisis.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have already faced each other this season, and it was quite recent. In early November, Buffalo suffered a home defeat with a football-like score (1-2 OT). The hero of the match was Utah's forward Clayton Keller, who managed to provide an assist and then score the winning goal in overtime. The forward remains in form and is ready to delight the fans once again.
Head-to-head statistics Utah Mammoth - Buffalo
Utah Mammoth Team Overview
André Tourigny's squad have hit a rough patch. After an impressive start to the regular season, they've suffered five losses in their last six games. In just the last three matchups, the hosts conceded 15 goals. Their defensive play during this stretch has been far from acceptable. This is evident in the statistics as well-while scoring 51 goals, the "Mammoths" have already allowed 50. This is one of the worst records among the top eight in the conference.

Buffalo Sabres Team Overview
The New York State club wasted no time in settling into their usual spot at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. They've been here for years and seem determined to stay true to form. With six losses in their last seven games, their prospects of vying for the top draft pick are quite apparent. The main issue for the visitors remains their extremely low scoring rate, having netted just 41 goals-an unenviable record in the conference. At times, it seems like no one on the team is capable of stepping up and taking charge.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Utah: Vanecek - Sergachev, Simashev - Keller, Cooley, Schmaltz
Buffalo: Lyon - Power, Timmins - Rosen, Ostlund, Thompson
🥅 Goalkeepers
Utah's goaltender Vitek Vanecek hasn't been a frequent or particularly successful presence on the ice this season. The Slovakian's save percentage stands at just 87.5%, which is far from impressive. However, there's optimism here for his potential improvement.
Buffalo's netminder Alex Lyon has consistently maintained a commendable level of performance. The American boasts a save percentage of 91.1%. While not exceptionally high, given the current defensive struggles his teammates are facing, it's quite an achievement.
Editor's Prediction
The home team's chances of success appear quite high despite a string of setbacks, largely due to the evident weakness of their opponents. However, it's worth noting Utah's scoring prowess in home games, with at least six goals scored in three of their last four matchups in Salt Lake City. Buffalo's defensive struggles could help maintain this trend. Our bet is on the total over 5.5 goals.No comments
