Flyers vs Mammoth Picks and Predictions – Wednesday January 21, 2026
The Flyers head to Salt Lake City to face the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 9:00 PM at the Delta Center. NBCS has the broadcast, and the market is pricing Utah as a solid home favorite with the Flyers catching a meaningful moneyline plus price.
Philadelphia is 23-17-8 and trying to stabilize in the Eastern playoff mix, while Utah is 25-20-4 and trending up with a recent run of wins. The number makes sense on paper, but the way these teams play creates a real question for bettors: is this a tight, one-goal game where Philly’s physical style keeps them attached, or does Utah’s offense push the game into a higher-event script?
Philadelphia Flyers vs Utah Mammoth Odds
These are the current betting lines, and bettors should monitor the updated NHL odds as goalie confirmations and late scratches can move both the puck line and the total.
| Team | Moneyline | Puck Line | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia Flyers | +147 | +1.5 (-175) | 6.0 (Over -107 / Under -115) |
| Utah Mammoth | -175 | -1.5 (+143) | 6.0 (Over -107 / Under -115) |
Philadelphia Flyers Betting Form
Philadelphia just beat Vegas 2-1, and that result fits how the Flyers can win as an underdog. They lean into contact, finish checks, and try to make the game feel uncomfortable. When they’re doing it right, the opponent’s breakouts get slower, neutral-zone time gets messy, and scoring chances come in fewer, more chaotic bursts.
From a betting perspective, the Flyers’ profile supports two paths: staying inside +1.5 because they can keep games tight, or stealing a moneyline when they get timely finishing and their goalie holds the middle of the ice. The catch is that this can unravel quickly if they take penalties or spend too much time defending, because one goal against can force them to open up.

Utah Mammoth Betting Form
Utah is coming off a 6-3 win over Seattle, and the bigger takeaway is how they can score without needing a perfect game. They generate enough volume and enough off-the-rush danger that even short defensive lapses from opponents turn into quality looks fast. That’s a strong home-favorite identity, especially when the market is only asking you to lay -175 on the moneyline.
The Mammoth also have multiple point producers driving results, which makes them less fragile to a single line going quiet. If they control pace early and get the Flyers chasing, Utah’s ability to create chances off forecheck pressure and quick re-entries becomes the edge that matters most.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Utah Mammoth Matchup Breakdown
At five-on-five, this sets up as a clash between Philadelphia’s disruption and Utah’s ability to create offense anyway. The Flyers want you to take an extra touch, dump pucks in, and grind for inches. Utah wants quicker decisions, quick-strike transition, and sustained pressure when they can pin you in and roll lines.
Special teams could decide the total. If Philly’s physical game turns into penalties, Utah gets the kind of power-play time that can push a 6.0 over without needing a track meet. If the refs keep it tight and the game stays mostly five-on-five, the under is live because Philly’s best script is low-event hockey with the score hanging around 2-2 entering the third.
Goaltending is a key variable and it’s not always clear until closer to puck drop. If either team starts a backup, it changes how you should treat the over and the puck line. The other angle is travel and environment: this is a late-start, cross-country spot for Philadelphia, and Utah’s home comfort matters when legs get heavy and decisions slow down.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Utah Mammoth Predictions and Best Bets
My lean is Utah moneyline. The Mammoth have the more consistent scoring profile and they’ve been playing with confidence, which matters against a Flyers team that can drift into long scoring droughts when the first look doesn’t go in.
I’m not eager to lay -1.5 on the puck line at plus money because Philly’s style is built to keep games tight, and the Flyers being +1.5 at a steep price is the market admitting that one-goal margins are on the table. If you like Utah by margin, you’re basically betting that Utah wins special teams and the Flyers have to chase.
On the total, I lean over 6.0, but it’s conditional. Utah can score enough on its own to get you close, and Philadelphia has been playing higher-scoring games recently. Still, I want to know the starting goalies first, because a strong goaltending matchup can turn this into a 3-2 type game even if the skater pace is decent.
Best Bet: Utah Mammoth moneyline (-175)
