The Boston Bruins will have questions to answer this week, as they bid to put a recent defeat behind them when they face the Utah Mammoth. Find our picks here.
Despite the recent defeat, Boston have been in reliable form in recent weeks, winning six of their last ten to sit fourth in the Atlantic Division.
But, the Mammoth will bring the momentum into this clash after winning their last two. Their improved form has seen them rise to fourth in the Central Division.

|---|---|

| Utah Mammoth | -112 |
The Bruins will be hoping for an immediate return to form on Tuesday following a loss in their latest game against the Minnesota Wild.
That was a rare off night for Boston, as they conceded six times. Boston fell apart in the final period, conceding three goals.
Alex Steeves and Andrew Peeke scored the goals in the loss for the Bruins. However, they should retain confidence now back at TD Garden, having gone 11-5-0 in home games this season.

The Utah Mammoth have improved quickly in the Western Conference in the last seven days, winning each of their last two to sit fourth in the Central Division.
However, they have still suffered six defeats in regulation time across their last ten, and they currently have one of the worst defensive records in the division.
But, they showed their battling qualities in their previous away game, edging to a 5-4 road win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Michael Carcone was a standout performer in that success after netting two goals.
| TOTAL | Mammoth | Bruins | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 3 | 2 | 1 | - |
| GOALS | 9 | 5 | 4 |
Utah should bring confidence into this clash following a run of two straight wins. However, Boston’s home record this season has been very reliable. Therefore, we like their chances of bouncing back to winning ways on Tuesday now that they are back at TD Garden.
