Nick Schmaltz has recorded a point in 45 of the 53 Utah wins he’s played in since the start of last season. Minnesota’s Joel Eriksson Ek has reached two shots in 30 of his 36 Wild losses over that same stretch.
Those two records give these Mammoth parlay picks a scoring option from Utah and a shooting option from the opposition. Side & Support follows your Utah-win view without assuming Minnesota’s useful individual contributions have to disappear.
Two props to weigh with a Mammoth win

| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nick Schmaltz 1+ point |
−165 | 84.9% 45 of 53 UTAH wins |
57.0% 57 of 100 games |
| Joel Eriksson Ek 2+ shots on goal |
−290 | 83.3% 30 of 36 MIN losses |
83.1% 74 of 89 games |
Nick Schmaltz: 1+ point
Schmaltz finished without a point in Utah’s latest win, after also going scoreless in the loss before it. His last scoring appearance was a two-point game before those two outings.
At −165, one goal or assist is enough, and it’s the less expensive choice here. His strong winning-game record includes seven hits in eight Utah wins this season, but the latest game is the current-season exception. Keep that recent miss beside the larger history.
Joel Eriksson Ek: 2+ shots on goal
Eriksson Ek has reached two shots in his last five games, with four, two and five in his last three. That involvement has continued in Minnesota losses as well as wins.
The −290 line is more expensive than Schmaltz’s point. His loss frequency is almost identical to his all-game rate, so this is about a shooter staying involved when Utah gets the result—not about Minnesota losing creating extra certainty. He can put the shots on goal without scoring.
Mammoth parlay picks: choosing your support
Schmaltz is the direct Utah contribution and the lower price, with a recent scoreless win to consider. Eriksson Ek offers a shooting run that has held up across results. Either can fit a Mammoth win without requiring both teams’ scorers to have big nights.
