The Mammoth rank 4th in goals against but 13th in goals for, creating a defensive-first identity that has produced a five-game win streak despite middling offensive output. Their +34 goal differential sits comfortably in playoff position, but the gap between elite defense and average scoring creates vulnerability against top offensive teams in a tight playoff race.

Positive goal differential of +34 across 78 games confirms consistent ability to outscore opponents over large sample, indicating sustainable process rather than variance-driven results
Recent offensive surge to 5.75 goals per game represents 74% improvement over season average, suggesting tactical evolution or personnel changes that could redefine ceiling if maintained
