Blackhawks Searching for Consistency on the Road
Chicago enters this matchup with a 22-27-9 overall record and a 10-13-4 mark away from home. The Blackhawks have struggled recently, losing four of their last five games. They most recently fell to Nashville 4-2 and also dropped games to Columbus twice and Pittsburgh. Their lone recent win came in an impressive 6-3 victory over San Jose.
Offensively, Chicago is averaging 2.64 goals per game while allowing 3.17 goals against. They generate 24.7 shots per contest but give up 29.4 shots per game, which has created consistent defensive pressure. The Blackhawks have scored 32 power play goals and are converting at a 19.2% rate with the man advantage.
One bright spot has been their penalty kill, which sits at 85.2%. Chicago has allowed just 26 power play goals against and has not surrendered a short-handed goal this season. Despite high penalty minutes (551), their ability to kill penalties effectively has kept them competitive in certain matchups.

Mammoth Building Momentum at Home
Utah comes into this contest with a 31-24-4 overall record and an impressive 18-9-2 mark at home. The Mammoth have won three of their last five games, most recently defeating Minnesota 5-2. They also secured wins over Detroit and Vancouver while falling to Colorado and Dallas in competitive games.
Utah averages 3.19 goals per game while allowing 2.78 goals against, showing a strong positive differential. They record 27.8 shots per game and limit opponents to 26.0 shots, which highlights their balanced style of play. On the power play, the Mammoth have scored 26 goals with a 15.8% success rate.
Where Utah stands out is in five-on-five play and home-ice production. While their power play percentage is modest, they have scored five short-handed goals and have not allowed a short-handed goal against. Their ability to defend at home and control tempo has been a key factor in their 18 home wins.
Blackhawks vs Mammoth Pick
Blackhawks vs Mammoth Pick
- Pick: Utah Mammoth Moneyline
Utah has been strong at the Delta Center with an 18-9-2 home record, while Chicago has struggled on the road. The Mammoth hold advantages in goals per game, goals against per game, and overall shot differential. Given Chicago’s recent defensive struggles, Utah appears to be in the better position to control this matchup.
Blackhawks vs Mammoth Total Pick
- Pick: Over (if total is set at 6.0)
Chicago has allowed 3.17 goals per game and tends to give up a high volume of shots. Utah averages over three goals per contest and has been productive at home. I expect scoring chances on both sides, especially with Chicago’s recent defensive lapses, so I lean toward the over in this one.
Final Score Prediction: Utah Mammoth 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2
