🔥 Matchup Keys
- Goaltending:
- UTA: Karel Vejmelka (career .900 SV%, 3.24 GAA). Early season: solid start (.918 SV%).
- CHI: Spencer Knight (career .904 SV%, ~2.7 GAA last season). Capable of stealing periods, but volume could be an issue behind a young D.
- Special Teams Matter: Both clubs were top-10 on the PP last year (UTA 10th, CHI 8th). Whichever side stays out of the box likely controls pace.
- Shot Quality vs. Finishers: Utah’s top six (Keller/Peterka/Cooley/Guenther/Schmaltz) can stack chances. Chicago leans on Bedard’s gravity and Donato’s finishing.

(Exact combos can tweak day-of; core usage should hold.)

| Clayton Keller (UTA) | Anytime Goal | +150 | Yes | PP1 focal point vs. CHI PK that can leak entries |
| Dylan Guenther (UTA) | Shots on Goal 2.5 | -115 | Over | Volume winger; 5v5 + PP usage |
| Logan Cooley (UTA) | Point | -120 | Yes | Primary distributor on PP1 |
| Connor Bedard (CHI) | Points | -115 | Over 0.5 | Even in low total, he touches everything |
| Ryan Donato (CHI) | Anytime Goal | +200 | Sprinkle | Net-front on PP; high ixG per shot profile |
From your sheet: Also like Peterka +220 as a value dart.
📈 Trends & Totals
- Totals: Books are sitting 5.5 to 6.0. Both teams combined for 5.7 GF/G last year, but 6.6 GA/G allowed — books still respect Utah’s structure & early form.
- Side: Mammoth are 24–16/24–17 as ML favorites range last season; Blackhawks were ~30–31% as dogs.
🧩 Same Game Parlay (SGP)
- Mammoth ML
- Under 6.0
- Keller Anytime Goal
Approx. Payout: ~+475 (varies by book)
🧾 ClutchBuzz Prediction
Utah’s top-six depth plus a steadier blue line tilts this one. Chicago will have pockets of pressure (especially on Bedard-led rushes), but if the Mammoth stay disciplined, Vejmelka should see clean looks and Utah’s PP can be the difference.
Final Score: Mammoth 3, Blackhawks 2
✅ ClutchBuzz Best Bets
- Mammoth ML (-161)
- Under 6.0 (grab Under 5.5 at plus money only if you’re comfortable)
- Keller Anytime Goal (+150)
- Lean: Mammoth -1.5 (+150 to +154) for a small ladder
