Blues Meet Mammoth
The St. Louis Blues take on the Utah Mammoth tonight for the third time this season.
The teams have split their two meetings so far in very different fashion. Utah won the first matchup 7-4 on October 23rd, while Joel Hofer pitched a 1-0 shutout on November 29th.
Can Blues Bounce Back?
The Blues are looking to respond after another blowout loss, 7-3 at Chicago on Wednesday night. That is the sixth time this season they have been throttled by 4+ goals.
The good news for the Blues? They have responded with a win each of the previous five times they got beaten by 4+ goals.
Utah Playing Well
The Mammoth are off to a good start in the 2026 calendar year. They have won three of their four games, including the last two 3-2 at the Rangers and 3-1 against the Senators.
Much like the Blues though, Utah has struggled to string wins together this season. The Mammoth haven’t won three straight games since October.
My Pick
A big key to being a successful sports bettor is not being a prisoner of the moment where you overreact to what you just saw in the previous game.
The Blues have been an infuriating team to watch much of this season. When you start to feel optimistic they can build some momentum, they get gobsmacked like they did on Wednesday against the Blackhawks.
But the stat I referenced above fuels what I think is the right bet for tonight’s game - the Blues are a perfect 5-0 this season after losing a game by 4+ goals. I believe this team will be ready to respond again tonight against a Utah club that has been allergic to winning streaks over the last couple months.
Pick: Blues on the moneyline at +142 on DraftKings (bet to +120)
