San Jose at St. Louis

This matchup obviously favors the Sharks. But, we think St. Louis has an excellent shot at keeping the game close. Of late, San Jose's powerful defense has faltered. They have allowed 3.5 goals per game over their last six games, losing four of them. St. Louis has shut out two of their last four opponents, posting two wins. So, this has the makings of a low-scoring affair in which getting 1.5 goals is very big.
