No official pick selected on this game. The analysis below reflects our model's read (trend), but no market cleared our validation thresholds to become an official ProbWin pick.

CONFIRMED GOALIES

● Utah Mammoth: Karel Vejmelka (probable starter) — 0.875 save percentage, 3.03 goals-against average (GAA), GSAx (goals saved above expected) of -0.32 over his last 10 starts
● Tampa Bay Lightning: Dennis Hildeby (probable starter) — 0.896 save percentage, 3.38 GAA, GSAx of +0.18 over his last 10 starts

GAME CONTEXT

Utah Mammoth is 7-4 in 11 games, with 14 standings points. Its last game was on October 22, 2026, giving it 1 day of rest. Tampa Bay Lightning is 7-3 in 10 games, with 14 standings points, and is on the second night of a back-to-back after its game on October 23, 2026.

KEY ABSENCES

● Utah Mammoth: John Marino (D), questionable (upper body); Maveric Lamoureux (D), long-term injured reserve (LTIR); Michael Carcone (LW), LTIR
● Tampa Bay Lightning: Victor Hedman (D), questionable (undisclosed); Yanni Gourde (C), LTIR

GAME SCRIPT

Both starting goalies are probable, and neither one shuts the door: Karel Vejmelka has a 0.875 save percentage and Dennis Hildeby a 0.896, with GSAx of -0.32 for the former and +0.18 for the latter. At 5-on-5, Utah Mammoth holds 56.5% of shot attempts over 10 games, compared with 55.2% for Tampa Bay Lightning: the gap is small. Expected goals are close as well, at 3.60 for Utah Mammoth and 3.64 for Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay Lightning is on the second night of a back-to-back, and Victor Hedman's availability remains uncertain.

OUR ANALYSIS

MONEYLINE: Our model gives Tampa Bay Lightning a 45.6% chance, while the 2.170 price implies 46.1%. The numbers barely separate the two teams, and back-to-back fatigue weighs on the visiting side. The price doesn't pay off this scenario: no moneyline pick.

TOTALS: Our model finds no lean on the total, as the line provided is 0.0. Both goalies below a 0.900 save percentage and expected goals of 3.60 and 3.64 point to an open game, but without a usable line, there is no total pick.

Devil's advocate

If Victor Hedman is in the lineup, Tampa Bay Lightning, which is averaging 3.20 goals scored per game over its last 10 games, can hold its own despite the fatigue. Conversely, Utah Mammoth could struggle if Karel Vejmelka, at a 0.875 save percentage, stays at that level.

ProbWin verdict

We are passing on this game: no moneyline pick and no total pick.
