Hockey Club vs Blues Prediction 

These are both offenses that have had issues last season, and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Blues are averaging 2.83 goals while Utah is averaging 2.79 goals per game. The Utah and St. Louiks are both going to really struggle to get any sort of offense going here, and that will be the difference. Look for only two or three goals total to be scored. Back the under to cash here with ease.
