Blues Head To Beantown
The St. Louis Blues open a three-game road trip tonight in Boston against the Bruins.
The Blues and Bruins split two meetings last season, with each team winning 3-2 on the road.
Blues Not Good As A Favorite
The Blues are coming off a solid homestand where they won 2 out of 3 games, and they have now pulled to within 4 points of a playoff spot after registering at least 1 point in 10 of their last 13 contests.
The Blues are the favorite tonight, but that has not been good news so far this season. They have been a favorite 12 times and have only won twice in those instances.
Bruins Missing Pastrnak
The Bruins are expected to be without star forward David Pastrnak tonight due to injury. He leads Boston with 29 points, and the Bruins have dropped 2 of the 3 games since he’s been out.
Boston has a good home record this season of 9-5-0.
My Pick
Just like Monday against Anaheim, I don’t think it’s warranted for the Blues to be a substantial favorite in this one.
I documented their struggles as a favorite above, and while Boston is dealing with some key injuries right now, so are the Blues. I think the Bruins should be favored here with them being good at home, while the Blues have won just 4 of their 12 road games.
And if this game goes to overtime, I would recommend sprinkling a live wager at the end of regulation on Boston to win. The Bruins are 6-0 in overtime games this season, while the Blues are 0-7.
Pick: Bruins on the moneyline at +124 on DraftKings (bet to +100)
