Blues vs. Utah Hockey Club Prediction

I’m on the over here. I know it may feel odd taking the over between two teams that I really don’t trust all that much. That being said, these are also two teams that have had shaky and leaky defenses in the last couple of weeks, and it makes it really hard to trust either side to keep the puck out of the net in this game. I think we have a high-scoring back-and-forth game brewing between two teams that don’t want to lose a 5th straight game so give me the over.
