Seattle vs Utah Mammoth Prediction 23 October 2026
π Seattle nearly let a three-goal lead slip away against Detroit, but held on for the win. Now, they face Utah at home-a team thatβs been averaging close to four goals per game early in the season. The Mammoth have taken four of their last five and have already established themselves among the Western Conference leaders. Utah have another reason to feel confident: last season, Kraken never managed to find a way past them.
Three games, three wins for Utah
π Last season, Seattle faced the Mammoth three times and failed to pick up a single point. Utah claimed back-to-back home wins (5-3 and 6-3), before thrashing their rivals on the road (6-2). Over those three games, the Sharks conceded 17 goals while managing to score only eight in return. In general, head-to-head clashes between these teams tend to deliver plenty of goals.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle - Utah Mammoth
A victory that could have slipped away
Seattle have made a solid start to the season and remain in the Western Conference playoff picture. However, their recent form raises some concerns. The Kraken fell to Tampa Bay in overtime on the road (3-4), then conceded eight goals against Florida. Lane Lambertβs side continue to pose a threat offensively, converting 14.3% of their shots on goal-the second-best mark in the NHL. Yet, this attacking efficiency doesnβt always prevent trouble, especially when opponents ramp up the pressure.
Against Detroit, the hosts controlled the tempo for much of the game. Mackie Samoskevich opened the scoring in the first period, and goals from Ryker Evans and Brandon Montour stretched the lead to 3-0. At that point, it looked like two points were in the bag. But in the third period, Seattle let their opponents back into it-Alex DeBrincat netted the equalizer with just 17 seconds left on the clock. Overtime solved nothing, and in the shootout, the Kraken held their nerve for a 4-3 win, with Bobby McMann converting the decisive attempt. Afterward, Lambert noted his team started the third period well but admitted that mistakes in the neutral zone and penalties allowed Detroit to seize momentum.

The majority delivers results
Utah have won four of their last five games, picking up 14 points in their previous ten outings. AndrΓ© Tourigny's side have found the net 38 times, trailing only four Western Conference teams in scoring. The Mammoth are particularly dangerous on the power play, converting at a league-best 36.1% rate. Not even a heavy 6-2 defeat to Edmonton could derail their momentum-Utah bounced back immediately, scoring five goals in their next game to return to winning ways.
Against Pittsburgh, the Mammoth started strong, building a three-goal cushion by the third period. Clayton Keller, Kevin Stenlund, Nate Schmidt, Kailer Yamamoto, and Nick Schmaltz-who struck on the power play-were all on the scoresheet. But closing out the win proved tricky. The Penguins clawed their way back, cutting the deficit to one and nearly tying it up in the dying seconds. Sebastian Cossa came up with a crucial save to secure a 5-4 victory for Utah. The hosts outshot Pittsburgh 29-19 and won 57.9% of faceoffs. Still, conceding four goals highlighted that even when Utah control play, defensive lapses remain a concern in their own end.

Prediction for the 1st period
Seattle have been quick off the mark lately, finding the net in the opening period of six consecutive games. The Kraken also struck first against Detroit, breaking the deadlock before the first intermission. Facing Utah promises to be a tough contest, but Seattleβs offensive firepower suggests their scoring streak could well continue. The pick here is Seattle to score over 0.5 goals in the first period at odds of 1.61.

βοΈ Editorial Prediction
Seattle and Utah head into this matchup fresh off narrow wins, with both sides nearly squandering comfortable leads. The Kraken allowed Detroit to erase a 3-0 deficit, while the Mammoth almost let Pittsburgh come back after leading 5-2. Still, both offenses keep delivering results. Utah have scored 38 goals in their last ten games, and Seattle rank among the NHLβs best when it comes to shot conversion. The stats also point toward a high-scoring contest: in each of the last six head-to-head meetings, the teams have combined for over five goals, and seven of the previous eight games for both clubs have seen the total go over 5.5. My pick is over 5.5 goals.
