Anaheim at St. Louis

Despite their 1-4 record, this St. Louis squad isn't as bad as they seem. They have better players than Minnesota and their are coverting a lot of SOGs (13.5% in four home games). They simply need to find a way to get more shots. St. Louis is putting up 3 goals per game to 2.8 for Anaheim and they are allowing 3.4 to Anaheim's weak 4.2. Losing road teams off a road loss playing a team at <30% on the season are just 9-23 in the first half of the season. Also, home teams off a loss against a division rival, that are well rested (playing 3 or less games in 10 days) are 22-4 over the last 5 seasons. St. Louis has won 18 of the last 27 in this meeting. One star on the Blues.
