Logan Cooley scored twice in Utah’s loss to Seattle and once in Tuesday’s loss to Minnesota. He didn’t record an assist in either game. If you’re backing Pittsburgh against the Mammoth, that distinction opens a more specific route than asking Utah’s forwards to stay completely off the scoresheet.
These Penguins parlay picks compare Cooley and Dylan Guenther to finish without an assist, plus an Anders Lee shot under with a much shorter Utah history. The two assist records cover the previous season and this one; Lee’s five-loss comparison is an early look at his new club, with a larger return at the quoted price.
Penguins parlay picks: Utah unders to compare
All three options are framed around a Pittsburgh win by looking at Utah losses. Each all-game record uses the same player’s Utah appearances over the same period. Cooley and Guenther include 2025–26 and current-season games, including the playoffs; Lee’s Utah sample is this season only. Individual DraftKings prices below are snapshots and can change.
| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logan Cooley Under 0.5 assists |
−160 | 86.1% 31 of 36 Utah losses |
65.8% 48 of 73 Utah appearances |
| Dylan Guenther Under 0.5 assists |
−210 | 87.0% 40 of 46 Utah losses |
67.3% 66 of 98 Utah appearances |
| Anders Lee Under 1.5 shots on goal |
−105 | 80.0% 4 of 5 Utah losses |
53.8% 7 of 13 Utah appearances |
Lee’s four-of-five record has far less history behind it than the assist options. The near-even price makes it a different choice to examine, not equally strong evidence.
Logan Cooley — under 0.5 assists (−160)
Cooley went without an assist in 31 of 36 Utah losses, or 86.1%, compared with 48 of 73 Utah appearances overall, or 65.8%. The current season has followed that loss pattern in all five games. Across all 13 current-season appearances, however, he has gone without an assist just six times. The distinction is about the team result, rather than a claim that Cooley rarely sets up a goal.
His recent scoring illustrates what this market allows. Cooley had two goals and no assists in the October 22 Eastern loss to Seattle, then one goal and no assists in the October 27 loss to Minnesota. The latest goal was Utah’s only one in that 3–1 defeat. At under 0.5 assists, those goals don’t defeat the selection; a single assist does.
He has gone three straight games without an assist while playing 17:25, 19:27 and 20:39, and is listed on Utah’s expected second line. That recent run came with regular ice time. It also followed an assist in the earlier 5–4 win over Pittsburgh on October 19, so there is a direct reminder that he can create a scoring play against this opponent.
DraftKings offered Cooley under 0.5 points at +120. The larger payout asks for no goal or assist and would have failed in both those recent scoring losses. That broader under occurred in 24 of 36 Utah losses, compared with 31 without an assist. The −160 assist price gives up return in exchange for allowing him to score himself. Five losses in the longer sample still included an assist.
Dylan Guenther — under 0.5 assists (−210)
Guenther’s no-assist record is 40 of 46 Utah losses, or 87.0%, against 66 of 98 Utah appearances overall, or 67.3%. He has also finished without an assist in all five Utah losses this season, while doing so in nine of 13 games overall. His full loss sample is larger than Cooley’s, but the current five-game loss records don’t separate them.
Guenther has no assist in his latest five appearances. His last three games came with two, three and four shots on goal and ice times of 20:10, 19:15 and 20:46. He scored against Tampa Bay in the middle of that stretch without adding an assist. This is a narrow way to back a quieter playmaking result from an expected second-line winger who is still shooting and receiving substantial ice time.
The point under was +125, but asking Guenther to finish with no goal or assist changes the history to 26 of 46 Utah losses. His assist under costs more because it permits a goal. It is also more expensive than Cooley’s −160 for a similar conditional record, so the extra price deserves attention if you’re choosing just one. Six Utah losses in the full sample included a Guenther assist, including a playoff defeat last season.
Cooley and Guenther appear on the same expected line, and each under requires its selected player to finish without an assist. Their separate records aren’t evidence that combining them creates two independent chances. Treat them as related alternatives or compare the actual combined quote on its own terms.
Anders Lee — under 1.5 shots on goal (−105)
Lee offers the less expensive activity comparison. He stayed at zero or one shot in four of five Utah losses, or 80.0%, compared with seven of 13 Utah appearances overall, or 53.8%. Those are all current-season games with Utah; his former-team history hasn’t been folded into the numbers. Five losses are too few to give this record the same weight as the longer Cooley and Guenther comparisons.
In Utah’s last two losses, Lee had one shot in 12:05 against Seattle and none in 10:59 against Minnesota. The earlier Pittsburgh game also ended with one Lee shot, although Utah won that night. The under allows one shot, so it doesn’t require him to produce no attempts on net at all.
The counterexample sits between those recent losses: four shots and a goal in 15:53 against Tampa Bay. Lee also had three shots in Utah’s October 17 Eastern loss to Edmonton, the one loss in this sample where he exceeded the line. His recent workload and shooting vary enough that the −105 price should be considered alongside those misses, rather than the four-of-five percentage alone.
Pick the requirement that fits your Pittsburgh view
Cooley’s assist under has the lower price of the two longer-history playmaking options and allows him to remain a goalscorer. Guenther has a longer recent run without an assist and a larger full loss sample, at −210. Lee’s shot under gives you a different stat and a near-even quote, with much less Utah history behind it.
These are choices to compare, not a required three-leg combination. Utah’s offensive performance can affect more than one of them, and separate historical rates don’t supply a combined success probability. Use the sportsbook’s actual price for the exact selections you want.
