Montreal at St. Louis

Montreal is a .500 road team and winds up a five-game trek in 12 days. The Canadiens are 7-21 against the Western Conference, including 3-14 versus the Central Division. St. Louis is 11-1-3 at home, 9-0-3 in its last 12 home contests and the Blues have strong depth and balance across the board. The Blues are 48-21 against the Atlantic Division, as well as 47-20 when their opponent scores five goals or more in the previous game. Montreal is off a 5-4 shootout win at the L.A. Kings, but the offense has struggled often on the road, scoring a total of two goals in the previous two contests, both losses. This St. Louis offense has tallied 36 goals the last 10 games and the wagering value is on the home team to win by two goals or more. Play St. Louis on the puckline.
