Pittsburgh has won four straight games with stellar defense allowing four total goals. The Penguins are third in the NHL in penalty killing. The offense clicks at home but Pittsburgh has tallied 11 goals its last five road games. They face a St. Louis squad that is #22 in goals scored, #14 on the power play. But the Blues are picking it up defensively, on a 5-2 run. They've won three of the last four allowing one goal in each of the three victories. The Blues come off a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Thursday, as goalie Jake Allen continued his strong play with 30 saves. St. Louis is 62-39 UNDER the total against opponents that score 19% or better on the power play, plus 35-21 UNDER at home versus teams that average three goals or more. St. Louis is also 25-14 UNDER at home in non-conference games. Play the UNDER.
