The Utah Mammoth head into Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday night for a 10:00 PM matchup with the Seattle Kraken, and this one matters on both sides of the Western race. Utah is 38-30-6 and still trying to tighten its grip on a wild-card spot, while Seattle sits at 32-30-11 and is running short on time if it wants to stay in the chase. ESPN+ has the broadcast, and the market has Utah installed as a modest road favorite. Utah comes in off a convincing 6-2 win over the Kings, a game that showed exactly why this team can be annoying for opponents in April.

This one feels bigger than a normal Thursday night regular season game. Nashville heads into Crypto.com Arena at 10:30 PM ET on ESPN+ with a 34-31-9 record, but the mood is tense after three straight losses and a playoff cushion that has basically vanished. Los Angeles is 30-26-18, and even with fewer wins, the Kings have pushed themselves right into the middle of the wild-card fight after beating St. Louis on Wednesday night. That is what makes this matchup interesting for bettors. The Predators still bring more top-end scoring punch, especially with Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos driving the offense, but the Kings are at home, they just got a badly needed result, and they look like the steadier defensive
