Preview: Utah Mammoth at Boston Bruins BOSTON (Interstat) — The surging Boston Bruins will look to continue their strong play at home when they host the inconsistent Utah Mammoth on Tuesday night at TD Garden. The Bruins (19-13-0) enter on a three-game winning streak, having outscored opponents 17-8 over that span. Their most recent victory was a decisive 6-3 win at Winnipeg on Dec. 11, powered by a four-point night from star winger David Pastrnak. Pastrnak, a key player to watch, has been on a tear with two goals and four assists in his last two games. Boston has been strong on home ice this season and will face a Utah team concluding a lengthy road trip. The Mammoth (16-18-0) arrive after a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory in Pittsburgh on Sunday, which snapped a two-game skid. Their performance has been uneven, however, with a 4-6-0 record in their last 10 contests. Forward Michael Carcone, coming off a two-goal performance against the Penguins, leads Utah’s attack. Carcone has three goals in his last five games and will be a focal point for the Mammoth offense. This matchup is a rematch of an Oct. 19 meeting in Utah, which the Mammoth won 3-2. The Bruins will be seeking to avenge that early-season loss. Boston holds the edge in the standings and recent form. The Bruins’ offense, fueled by Pastrnak and supported by defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, who combined for three points in Winnipeg, presents a significant challenge. Utah’s success will likely depend on secondary scoring behind Carcone, such as from Nick Schmaltz and JJ Peterka, who were impactful in the Pittsburgh win, and on containing Boston’s potent power play. The game marks Utah’s final stop on a road swing before returning home. Boston begins a brief two-game homestand before hosting Edmonton on Thursday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST at TD Garden.
