Premium Pick

St. Louis has won the last three meetings by identical 2-1 scores and the Blues haven't scored more than two goals in their last five games against the Wild. Jake Allen followed a 51-save performance in Game 1 with 23 saves on Friday as Minnesota had their shots on goal reduced to 24 compared to 52 in the first game of this series. Devan Dubnyk had 20 saves for the Wild, which couldn't get anything going offensively against Allen and the Blues defensemen in the zone. In what should be a low scoring game, the road team has a good shot here. When facing a winning team on the road, the Wild are 10-5 this season. And, St. Louis is 0-5 now dating back to last season, at home when leading in a playoff series. Minnesota has gone UNDER three games in a row while scoring a total of five goals and St. Louis has also stayed UNDER its last three contests while allowing a total of only four goals. Four of the last five meetings have gone UNDER and the Blues are 15-4-4 UNDER with one day of rest and 14-4-3 UNDER against Western Conference teams. Take Wild and the UNDER.
