Blues vs Devils Betting Prediction
Three of their last four games and seven in a row have been losses for New Jersey at home. They often have strong offensive performances, but lately have struggled, scoring only 10 goals in their last four home games. With only 19 percent of their power play opportunities being converted, they have struggled on special teams.
St. Louis isn't particularly strong defensively, but they have recently played better on the road and are well rested against a team playing on consecutive nights, so don't anticipate them having trouble slowing down New Jersey. Despite playing well recently on the road, where they have won five of their previous seven games, St. Louis have lost four of their last six games.
Go with the away team to cover the spread tonight.
Pick: St. Louis +1.5 (-175)
