Utah's power play converts 38.1%, best in the NHL, and 10 of the Mammoth's 12 games have had six or more goals. Pittsburgh is 4-1-0 at home and 1-5-1 on the road, and Arturs Silovs has two shutouts. Kalshi has Utah at 56 cents to win.

Regis sits this one out, and here is his read
Pittsburgh's kill, 83.9% and 8th, is the unit that matters most against Utah's power play. The other side leans toward the Penguins: their power play, 20.6%, meets a Mammoth kill at 66.7%, 29th. Utah beat Pittsburgh 5-4 in Salt Lake City on Oct. 19. Utah hosts Minnesota on Tuesday, and that game is not in the numbers here.
I'm not posting a ticket on this game. When I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning, nothing met my standard for real money, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 4 PM PT puck drop.
- Nick Schmaltz has 5 power-play goals and Dylan Guenther 4. Clayton Keller leads Utah with 15 points.
- Mikhail Sergachev has 14 points from the blue line in 23:19 a night.
- Erik Karlsson leads Pittsburgh with 12 points. Evgeni Malkin has 6 goals but missed Saturday's game with an illness.
- Nick Robertson has 6 goals on 23 shots.
- Bryan Rust (lower body) will be re-evaluated in six weeks, the Penguins said Oct. 22, and Samuel Girard went on injured reserve on Oct. 24. Utah's John Marino (upper body) was listed week to week on Oct. 24.
- Ten of Utah's 12 games and seven of Pittsburgh's 12 have had six or more goals.
