Robert Thomas missed plenty of time due to injury, but could reach the 40-assist mark for the fifth consecutive season with a helper in his season finale.
My Blues vs. Mammoth predictions and NHL picks expect Thomas to get the job done against a Utah team looking toward its first playoff appearance since relocating.
Robert Thomas is one of the better playmakers in the NHL. His talents have been on full display since the Olympics, piling up 17 assists over 21 games.
He has spent the majority of that time alongside Jimmy Snuggerud and Dylan Holloway, who’ve combined to make a truly elite line. They've outscored opponents 22-5 at 5-on-5 while controlling the run of play.
Snuggerud and Holloway are both excellent shooters who help maximize Thomas’ facilitation skills.
They should be able to do that against Vitek Vanecek (.883 SV%) and a Utah Mammoth team likely to rest key players.
The St. Louis Blues are 16-5-3 since the Olympics, trailing only the Sabres in points percentage. They’ve played with a real urgency to finish the season strong and should end things on a high note given the Mammoth care about staying healthy a lot more than winning this game.
We’ll round out the parlay with an Under. The Blues rank first in goal suppression over the last 25 games because of strong defensive play and Joel Hofer. They should be able to limit chances against a watered-down Mammoth lineup, and Hofer will be there to do the rest.
Predictions favor the Blues, particularly with Robert Thomas expected to contribute significantly.
The Mammoth relocated recently and are looking for their first playoff appearance since the move.
Robert Thomas needs just one assist in his season finale to reach the 40-assist mark.
