Utah Hockey Club vs. Blues Prediction
I’m on the Blues here. Utah’s just struggling right now and can’t seem to get out of their own way. The Blues have been hot and cold but I feel they’re at least a little bit more trustworthy at this point, and I think that the Blues can get the job done on home ice. Give me St. Louis in this one.
