The St. Louis Blues are off their biggest game of the year vs. the Detroit Red Wings in a battle for first place. They dropped the game 3-1 after holding a 1-0 lead, but couldn't find their way back. That will leave this team emotionally down for a game vs. a very competent opponent in the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh is playing their best hockey of the season as they have won six straight games, and the offense is red hot, scoring 25 times in the six wins at over 4 goals per contest. Pittsburgh is a good scoring team and doesn't often play to a total of 5, but when they have they are 6-2 on the +1.5 puckline. They are catching a St. Louis team off a highly emotional game. Pittsburgh has been playing OVER to the tune of 8-3-1 when facing an opponent off of scoring 2 or fewer in their last game, and 5-1-1 to the OVER off a win in their last seven. Play Pittsburgh on the puckline and the OVER in this one.
