St. Louis at Minnesota

The St. Louis Blues have presented the oddsmakers with a quandary. They have played great on defense and behind the net consistently all season, but the offense has had more failures than successes. It is hard to post a 4.5 total in the NHL and draw equal action, so there is value on the 5 posted here. The Blues have played just one game all season long that reached 7 goals while nine of their last 10 have failed to make it past 5. When St. Louis gets some momentum behind the net, and is coming off a game where they allowed 2 or fewer goals, they are 7-0-1 to the UNDER in their last eight. Minnesota obliges the low-scoring thinking here, complimenting the situation with their 8-2 mark to the UNDER in their last 10 following a win. They are also 16-6-3 mark to the UNDER as a home dog in their last 25. The UNDER is the call in this one.
