St. Louis at Chicago

St. Louis has won 13 of the past 16 meetings and this is the first one this season. Chicago will start Petr Mrazek, who is 7-13-1 with a 3.25 goals-against average. The Blackhawks have lost four in a row while allowing 21 goals and they have lost 12 of 15 games against Central Divison foes. The Blues are 5-0 their past five games against teams that allowed at least five goals their previous game and Chicago has lost five straight following a home loss of three or more goals. St. Louis had its two-game win streak snapped in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo on Sunday even with a 37-16 shot advantage. The Blues will look to cash in on more opportunities against the hapless Blackhawks. Take the Blues.
