Utah comes into this matchup after snapping their losing streak with a dominating win over Anaheim in their last game, but they have lost four of their last five. The Mammoth are 6-9-2 on the road this year, while the Canucks are 3-7-1 at home. Vancouver has been awful over the last few weeks and they have scored two goals or fewer in four of their last five. The Canucks are towards the bottom of the NHL in most of the categories and they are talking about trading Hughes, so the season is heading in the wrong direction. Take Utah to get the win on the road.
