We like the St. Louis Blues to defeat the Utah Hockey Club on Thursday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Blues have won back-to-back games and are starting to find their groove.

Despite starting off very well, Utah have really cooled off. They've now lost two games in a row.

Allowing 3.46 goals per game, the Hockey Club could be in for a rough night tonight against this young attack from St. Louis.

Utah also only average 2.85 goals per game themselves. That's a bad ratio considering their record.

St. Louis have won four of their L5 games at home, while Utah are winless over their L5 games away from home.

We're going with the hotter team this Thursday.
