St. Louis at Philadelphia

After opening the season with three wins, St. Louis is hungry to end a long slide. They lost 3-1 to Boston last night, though they got Brandon Saad back from an injury. The winger notched 24 goals last season, and his offensive punch will be a nice boost. The Blues are 96-78 against winning teams. Philadelphia edged the Sens 2-1 over the weekend but they are on a 3-5 skid which includes a 3-0 home loss to San Jose. The Flyers are 22-44 against teams that surrender 3+ goals per game, as well as 17-37 after a win. Philadelphia is the third-worst scoring team in the NHL and the third-worst in shots on goal. The Flyers are 4-17 after scoring 2 goals or fewer in back-to-back games, plus 1-14 after allowing one goal or less in the last game. Play St. Louis.
