Saturday night’s matchup between the Utah Mammoth and Los Angeles Kings has the profile of one of the tighter NHL betting boards on the slate.

The Pistons come in at 53-20, leading the Eastern Conference and sitting on top of the Central Division, while Minnesota enters at 45-28 and still fighting for better playoff position in the West.
