Result: Loss
Utah is coming into this game with a 7-9-3 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has been awful in these games. They are coming off of a 1-0 loss to the Bruins in their last game and they have scored 2 goals or less in each of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 5 games. Their defense has not been great either, allowing at least 4 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. They have also been much worse on the road as they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games on the road, going scoreless in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 road games. They are going up against a Penguins team that is 7-11-4 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games either. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games and their offense has not been great in these games. They are coming off of a 4-1 loss to the Jets in their last game and they are playing on a B2B here, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back after a loss at home to the best team in the league right now and the Penguins have played much better on B2B's this season. Their last win actually came in the 2nd game of a B2B, beating the Sharks at home 4-3 in a shootout. They are also 3-1 this season in the 2nd game of a B2B, including wins in their last 2 games in that situation. Their offense has been much better in these games as well as they have scored 3+ goals in all 4 of those games, scoring 4+ goals in 3 of them. The Penguins have been great in this situation all season and they are going to respond to that loss at home, especially now that they are going from the best team in the league to one of the weaker teams that has been in a scoring drought recently and on the road. The Penguins will win this game at home.
