St. Louis at Columbus

St. Louis struggles on the road, while Columbus plays much better at home where they are for this game. Columbus has been playing good hockey, winning three of the last four games, cashing as a dog of +170 and +115. Overall they've outscored the opposition by a 14-7 count these last four games. Meanwhile St. Louis plays its third road game over the last five games and is 1-2 its last three as a favorite. The Blues are 1-4 in their last five road games - a team with a great home record, but a losing road mark. The Blues are 2-7 in their last nine in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation while the home team is 18-8 in the last 26 meetings. Grab the home ice in this one and play Columbus. In addition, I see a low-scoring game. Columbus is not a high-powered offense, averaging 2.4 goals per game (No. 23) and St. Louis is close behind ranked No. 20 in goals scored (2.5 per game). St. Louis is also second in the league in goals allowed, so both teams prefer a slow pace. The UNDER is 12-3-2 in the Blues’ last 17 against a team with a losing record and 4-1-1 UNDER the total in the Blues’ last six road games. St. Louis is on a 12-2-3 run UNDER the total in their last 17 games, while the UNDER is 8-3-1 in the Blue Jackets’ last 12 home games. Play on Columbus and take the UNDER.
