Blues Go For Back-To-Back Wins
The St. Louis Blues look for their second win in as many nights when they take on the Canadiens tonight in Montreal.
The Blues notched a 2-1 victory at Ottawa last night, giving them at least one point in 6 of their last 8 road games (3-2-3 record).
Blues Good As An Underdog
The Blues are continuing to have success when they are an underdog. After last night’s victory, they have now won 8 of their 14 games as a dog this season along with posting a 12-2 record in covering the +1.5 puck line as a dog.
The Blues have won 3 of the last 4 meetings with the Canadiens over the last 2 seasons by a combined margin of 21-11.
Letdown Spot For Montreal?
The Canadiens are coming off a big 2-1 shootout victory on the road last night against the Maple Leafs. Montreal had lost the 11 previous meetings at Toronto.
While the Blues have excelled at covering the +1.5 puck line as an underdog, the Canadiens are just 3-10 covering the -1.5 puck line as a favorite.
My Pick
I definitely want to bet the Blues +1.5 tonight based on the data above. However, that is priced at -225, so I’d recommend tacking on something else in order to get a better price.
I’m going to add Justin Faulk and Montreal forward Nick Suzuki to each record 1+ shots on goal to get a playable price of -130. Faulk has notched at least 1 shot on goal in every game this season, while Suzuki has gone shotless just once.
Pick: Same Game Parlay priced at -130 on DraftKings - Blues +1.5, Justin Faulk to have 1+ shots on goal, and Nick Suzuki to have 1+ shots on goal (bet to -135)
