Prediction and Conclusion

The Utah Hockey Club has the potential to be among the top teams in the West but the lack of consistency is costing them a lot. They are coming off a huge 6-0 win on the road against the Golden Knights, which definitely gives them confidence for the next one. The Dallas Stars are coming to Salt Lake City tonight, and they are also coming off a big win against the top team in the conference. The Stars are among the top defensive teams in the league, which will be a problem for Utah. On the other hand, Utah can adapt to that pace and be competitive, so we go with under 6.5 goals in total.
