Maple Leafs vs Mammoth Picks and Predictions – Tuesday January 13, 2026
Toronto lands in Salt Lake City riding real momentum and carrying the right kind of confidence. Monday’s overtime win over Colorado is the type of result that can sharpen a group, especially when you do it in a hostile building and have to win the details late.
Utah is coming off a loss that clearly annoyed the coaching staff, and the bigger concern is familiar: the power play is not pulling its weight. The Mammoth can generate enough at five-on-five to stay competitive, but if they keep leaving man-advantage chances on the table, they’re forcing themselves to win thin-margin games.
This is also a tough situational spot for Toronto. It’s a road back-to-back with travel, and there’s at least some uncertainty around winger Nick Robertson after he exited Monday’s game early. Utah should have the legs edge. Toronto has the skill and the special teams edge.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Utah Mammoth Odds
These are the current betting lines, and bettors should keep an eye on movement and updated NHL odds as goalie confirmations and late lineup decisions come in.
| Team | Moneyline | Puck Line | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Maple Leafs | +126 | +1.5 (-205) | 6.0 (O -110 / U -110) |
| Utah Mammoth | -150 | -1.5 (+165) | 6.0 (O -110 / U -110) |
Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Form
Toronto’s current run is built on pace and finishing, and they’re getting enough structure to survive nights when the opponent pushes back. When the Leafs are playing clean, they get to their speed through the middle, force defenders to turn, and create the kind of second chances that break totals and puck lines.
The betting angle Tuesday is whether their legs show up late. Back-to-backs can flatten your forecheck and your defensive tracking, and that’s where odd-man looks appear. If Robertson is limited or out, it also tightens Toronto’s rotation and can shift how aggressive they are on the forecheck.
For form, matchup splits, and recent results, use the Toronto Maple Leafs stats and results, and confirm availability with the linked Toronto Maple Leafs injury report before you lock anything in.
Utah Mammoth Betting Form
Utah’s profile is a little tricky because the five-on-five game is good enough to win nights, but the power play keeps leaving points on the table. If the Mammoth are going to be a real wild-card threat, they have to turn more of those opportunities into goals or at least sustained pressure.
At home, Utah’s best path is to win the middle of the ice early, make Toronto defend longer shifts, and force the Leafs to take penalties. The problem is you still have to score when you get those chances. If Utah’s power play stays stuck, the Mammoth need to win this game five-on-five, and that is a tougher assignment against a Toronto team that can finish.
For the deeper team snapshot, check the Utah Mammoth stats and results, and keep the linked Utah Mammoth injury report ready since roster availability can swing both the total and the side.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Utah Mammoth Matchup Breakdown
This matchup starts with pace and legs. Toronto is coming off a high-emotion overtime win and has to travel, so the first period matters. If Utah can tilt early shifts, get pucks behind Toronto’s defense, and keep the Leafs from changing cleanly, the Mammoth can build a territorial edge that shows up in the second half of the game.
At five-on-five, Toronto’s advantage is finishing talent and quick-strike offense off mistakes. Utah’s edge is the opportunity to play a simpler home script, especially if the Leafs are a half-step late on defensive reloads. If Toronto is loose through the neutral zone, Utah will get looks they usually do not get against set defenses.
Special teams is where the handicap gets loud. Toronto can win this game by being efficient on the power play and forcing Utah to chase at even strength. Utah’s penalty kill has not been good enough to bail out a struggling power play, so discipline and execution matter more than usual. If you want a quick refresher on how to treat totals and puck lines when special teams volatility is part of the read, the NHL expert betting guide is a useful framework.
Goaltending is also not confirmed, and it matters. If Toronto starts its top option and Utah doesn’t, that changes how comfortable you should feel with a Leafs moneyline at plus money. If Utah gets the stronger goalie setup, the Mammoth become more playable at home, even with the power-play issues.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Utah Mammoth Predictions and Best Bets
I lean Toronto, and I’m willing to take the plus-money moneyline. The spot is not perfect, but the matchup is. Toronto can punish the kind of power-play inefficiency Utah has been showing, and the Leafs are better equipped to score their way out of a tight third period.
Utah is absolutely live if Toronto’s legs fade. If the Leafs start trading chances or take penalties, the game can flip quickly. But I trust Toronto’s finishing and special teams more than Utah’s right now, and that’s the core of this handicap.
The total at 6.0 is priced fairly. Utah’s power-play issues tug toward the under, while Toronto’s offensive ceiling and back-to-back defensive risk tug toward the over. Without confirmed goalies, I would rather keep this as a side play.
Best Bet: Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline (+126)
