Nashville Predators vs. St. Louis Blues Predictions
The Predators burned me yesterday stealing a game against the Maple Leafs but what are the odds a team this bad can win on back-to-back days?
As a betting man I would say not likely especially because the Blues are one of the hottest teams in hockey over the past 10 games winning 7 of them straight up! During that span they’ve also posted 37 goals which is the 3rd most in the NHL behind the Capitals and Avalanche, good company to be in! They’ve also allowed just 2.6 goals per game as well with Jordan Binnington really riding the heater of the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Binnington will get the start tonight with Joel Hofer having played yesterday and that’s a good thing for the Blues as he’s 5-2 in the month of March with a 2.77 GAA.
On the Predators side of things, they did win yesterday but it was only their victory in the last 5 games and they are dreadful on the road with a straight up record of 8-26!
Doesn’t get much worse than that folks and expect Justus Annunen to start in the net as well. He has a 3.05 GAA and .891 SV%, not good at all! Give me the Blues on the 60-Minute Money Line to take this win in regulation at decent odds.
Pick: Blues 60-Minute Money Line (-115 on Caesars Sportsbook)
