Blues Look To End Slide
The St. Louis Blues conclude a three-game road trip tonight in Vegas against the Golden Knights
This is the final meeting between the two teams this season, with each side winning once.
Blues Leaking Goals Again
The Blues have dropped the first two games of this trip, as their defense has failed them with defeats of 7-3 in Chicago and 4-2 in Utah. They are fourth-worst in the NHL allowing 3.44 goals per game this season.
After the loss in Utah last night, this is the second of a back-to-back for the Blues. They are 5-3-0 in the second game of back-to-backs so far this season.
VGK Heating Up
Vegas heads into tonight’s matchup in first place in the Pacific Division. The Knights are looking for a third straight win this evening after posting victories of 4-3 over the Jets and 5-3 over the Blue Jackets in their last two contests.
VGK games have been high-scoring affairs lately, with 9 of their last 10 going over 5.5.
My Lean
I unsuccessfully took a stab on the Blues to win last night. I don’t like the matchup tonight, but also Vegas is unbackable at that big -265 moneyline price.
If you’re going to bet this game, I would turn to the total. I referenced VGK games being high-scoring lately, and St. Louis games have seen more goals lately too. The Blues have had 5 of their last 6 contests go over 5.5. I think we’re in for another fun one tonight.
