The Blues won 2-1 at home against Edmonton on April 9th. That's the good news for them. The bad news? They've lost the other 16 games they've played between mid-March and mid April. It doesn't get any worse than that. Phoenix hasn't done much better having lost six of seven but St. Louis has clearly packed it in earlier and they are the much worse team. Home teams that have been outscored by 0.2+ goals/game in the third period after scoring 2 goals or less in 5 straight games are just 8-27 (23%) over the last 5 seasons. And, losing home underdogs that have lost 3+ consecutive games are just 24-67 (26%) over the last 5 seasons. St. Louis here.
