St. Louis Blues vs Utah Mammoth Picks and Prediction for Thursday November 12 2026
St. Louis heads to Salt Lake City on Thursday night for a 9 PM ET game against the Utah Mammoth at Delta Center. The Blues have been struggling away from home, and Utah has enough offense to make that a problem. Neither team has been particularly good defensively, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a few goals. Utah has been much better at home than St. Louis has been on the road. That’s where I’m leaning.

St. Louis Has Been Having Trouble on the Road
St. Louis is 8-8-2 and has gone 3-6-1 away from home. The Blues have not really been playing that well overall with those results. However, the Blues have been competitive at times and in various stretches on the season. The problem is the lack of consistency is showing up big time for the Blues.
The Blues are averaging 2.9 goals per game and the defense is giving up 3.1. The numbers are not that bad, but it is definitely one figure that shows just a slight difference in how they are playing can impact the game for the Blues.
The Blues have a number of forwards that can play great hockey, but they have yet to reach that potential so far. The defense for the Blues has not been that great either and that stems from the lack of offensive pressure that the Blues have not been able to put on the ice so far.

Utah Has Been Dangerous Offensively
Utah is 10-7-1 and has won four of six home games. The Mammoth have gone 4-5-1 over their last ten. Utah is coming off of a back to back game here as this is the second half as the Mammoth do face the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
Utah is averaging 3.5 goals per game and the defense did not want to be any different and is giving up 3.5 goals per game. That’s a lot of goals at both ends and the slightest change in any of the numbers is what has swayed the Utah team to the record they are sitting on currently. . One aspect of play that the Utah team can dominate in is the power play as they are converting at 37% of the chances they are getting.
John Marino and Nate Schmidt have been listed unavailable, which affects Utah’s defensive depth. However, the Utah team does have a lot of offensive firepower that could make up any of the defensive lapses, but also the Blues do not have much of an offense that can threaten the Mammoth net.
St. Louis Blues vs Utah Mammoth Picks and Prediction
Moneyline Pick: Utah Mammoth
I’m taking Utah. The back-to-back bothers me, and the Mammoth have been giving up too many goals. But St. Louis has won only three of ten road games, and Utah has been much better at home. The Mammoth also have the better offense, averaging 3.5 goals compared with St. Louis’ 2.9. I think Utah gets enough chances to win, especially if the power play gets going. Give me the Mammoth.
Total Pick: Over — Pending Verified Line
I lean over. Utah has been scoring 3.5 goals a game and allowing 3.5. That’s a pretty inviting combination. St. Louis hasn’t been a high-scoring team, but the Blues should get opportunities against Utah’s defense. The concern is the back-to-back slowing the Mammoth down, particularly if they played a physical game in Vegas. But I think both teams have enough defensive problems to make this interesting. Something around 4-3 Utah wouldn’t surprise me. I’d want the verified total before betting.
Final Picks: Utah Mammoth Moneyline | Over (pending verified total)
