Action from the NHL’s Western Conference is slated for March 24, as the in-form Utah Mammoth host the Edmonton Oilers.
The Mammoth have recorded five wins in their last ten, losing just three times in regulation over the same period. Meanwhile, the Oilers will be aiming to snap a two-game losing run.

Andre Tourigny’s Utah Mammoth are enjoying an excellent season in the NHL, as they sit fourth in the Central Division.
The franchise appears to be in a strong position to achieve a playoff finish this term, as they currently sit clear of fifth-place Nashville Predators. Utah’s star player has been Clayton Keller, who has racked up 46 assists, and recorded a team-high 68 points.
The Mammoth also recorded a fifth win in their last ten over the weekend, as they claimed a dramatic overtime success against the Los Angeles Kings. Lawson Crouse scored twice and added one assist.
The Edmonton Oilers also come into the final month of the regular season in an excellent position, as they sit third in the Pacific Division after going 34-28-9.
That record sees Edmonton sit third in the division standings, and they are just five points adrift of the Anaheim Ducks at the summit. However, a response will be required this week, as they have suffered defeats in their last two.
Edmonton’s most recent defeat was a 5-2 home loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning. That defeat means that they have now allowed nine goals in their last two.
| TOTAL | Mammoth | Oilers | DRAWS | |

| Reguation WINS | 4 | 0 | 4 | - |
| GOALS | 29 | 8 | 21 |
The Mammoth are yet to win in four attempts against the Oilers. However, this week’s clash could present them with the perfect opportunity. Based on their strong recent form, the preference is for the home win.
