Boston at St. Louis

St. Louis got burned repeatedly on the power play in Game 3 as the Bruins scored four goals on four shots with the man advantage. The Blues will correct that in tonight's game, and although it appeared rookie phenom Jordan Binnington's lack of experience finally caught up with him, he got little help from his teammates defensively. Binnington still has a 2.54 goals-against average in the playoffs, and the team still has complete confidence in him. The Blues still are a small favorite in this game, and the home team has won five of the last seven meetings. Also, St. Louis has won seven of its last nine after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game, and the Blues are 19-8 their last 27 home games. In addition, St. Louis is 38-18 playing with one day of rest and 37-18 its last 55 games overall. This is essentially a must-win for St. Louis, and I expect to see its best performance of the series. Play the Blues.
