Utah vs St. Louis

The Mammoth roll into Enterprise Center on a two-game losing streak after back-to-back 4-3 defeats, while the Blues just snapped their own funk with a 4-3 comeback over Ottawa and now have points in five of their last six, tilting current form slightly toward the home side. With ESPN’s active rosters showing Utah still missing puck-moving defenseman Sean Durzi and St. Louis essentially at full strength aside from depth center Zach Dean on injured reserve, the Blues are marginally healthier for the second half of this back-to-back set. Utah’s high-end skill — particularly Logan Cooley, Keller and Nick Schmaltz, who shredded St. Louis for a 7-4 road win here in October — keeps the upset door open, but the Blues counter with Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Pavel Buchnevich finally driving offense again and now riding the confidence of Friday’s rally. Add in the travel tax on Utah starting a long road swing (5-7-2 away) versus a Blues team playing consecutive games in their own building, and I see just enough edge to back St. Louis at -115, grading this moneyline play a B+ for a modestly positive combination of win probability and payout.

Both teams come in off 4-3 games on Friday, and recent form suggests another night where goals are easier to come by than the market’s 5.5 total implies, even with the B2B scheduling. Utah’s last five outings have produced scorelines of 4-1, 3-2, 5-1, 4-3 and 4-3, while St. Louis has played 4-3, 3-2, 3-2 and 2-1 over the same stretch, and their only previous meeting this season exploded to 7-4 in favor of the Mammoth. Utah is averaging just over three goals for and three against per game, and the Blues have already conceded close to 3.5 per night with a mediocre penalty kill, a mix that tends to push games past six when special teams get involved. With both clubs likely rotating goaltenders on short rest and featuring top-end offensive pieces who’ve already feasted in this matchup (Cooley and Keller for Utah; Kyrou, Thomas and Buchnevich for St. Louis), I lean to Over 5.5 at -120 and grade it a B: the juice is a bit heavy, but the combination of recent scoring trends, shaky defensive metrics and explosive head-to-head history gives this total a reasonably strong chance to cash.

Even while I slightly favor the Blues to win outright, the Mammoth +1.5 puckline profiles well in what sets up as another tight, high-event game between these teams. Utah’s overall goal differential is essentially break-even despite a winning record, which reflects how many of their games stay within a single goal, and they just played consecutive 4-3 losses in which the +1.5 would have cruised. St. Louis, meanwhile, sits at 8-10-7 with seven overtime losses and a negative goal differential, a classic profile of a team that struggles to pull away and often finds itself in one-goal coin flips late. The earlier 7-4 Mammoth win in this building shows Utah’s ceiling when their top six gets rolling, but more often this matchup is likely to hinge on whether the Blues’ top line can barely outscore Utah’s Cooley–Keller–Schmaltz trio rather than blow them out. At a steep -267 the payout isn’t thrilling, but given Utah’s resilience, their offensive matchup history against St. Louis, and the high probability of another one-goal decision on a back-to-back for both sides, I grade Mammoth +1.5 as a B: relatively high likelihood of cashing with modest, low-risk return.
