Pittsburgh is #22 in the NHL in goals allowed and this is a tough spot for the banged up defending champs, playing overtime last night against Columbus. Now they head out on the road to a rested St. Louis squad that is 17-8-4 at home. The Blues made a coaching change and played great in the first game under coach Mike Yeo, a 5-1 win over Toronto. The defense stopped 26 of 27 Toronto shots. That was a strong Toronto offense and St. Louis is #10 in goals scored, fifth on the power play. They are also 7-3 at home against the Penguins, so back the rested home team. Play St. Louis.
