NHL On Tap: Jets seek to end 11-game skid, host Kings
Electric Utes
The Utah Mammoth (21-20-3) will play the second of a season-long seven-game homestand when they host the Blues (17-19-8) at Delta Center (9 p.m. ET; KMOV-TV, Matrix-MW, FDSNMW, Utah16). The Mammoth, 3-1-0 in their past four games, began the homestand with a 3-1 win against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. Utah has been getting offensive production throughout the lineup, which includes six players with double-digit goal totals: forwards Dylan Guenther (21 goals), JJ Peterka (15), Nick Schmaltz (14), Logan Cooley (14), Clayton Keller (13) and Lawson Crouse (10). The Blues are coming off a bizarre 7-3 loss at the Blackhawks Wednesday, when coach Jim Montgomery wanted to pull starting goalie Jordan Binnington after Chicago’s seventh goal, only to discover backup Joel Hofer “wasn’t ready” because he was only half-dressed, according to the coach. It’s been that type of season for the St. Louis, which enters the game with an NHL-worst minus-43 goal differential.
