Mammoth vs Flames: Expert NHL Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight
The Calgary Flames host the Utah Mammoth at Scotiabank Saddledome tonight. Puck drop is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 12, 2026. The game will air on Sportsnet.
Why Matvei Gridin is the top pick
Matvei Gridin has been a steady producer since returning to Calgary in January. He has 18 points in 31 games during that stretch and sits one point shy of Morgan Frost for the team lead.
The 20-year-old has recorded a point in eight of his last 11 contests. Given Utah’s recent defensive lapses, Gridin over 0.5 points (+105) is the recommended play.
Same-game parlay option
Clayton Keller has been hot for Utah. He has a point in seven straight games and has posted over 1.5 points in five of those outings.
A compact same-game parlay pairing Keller over 1.5 points with Gridin over 0.5 points offers appealing upside.
