St. Louis at San Jose

The transformation of this St. Louis team continues. Last year prior to the Holidays, the Blues sunk to the worst record in the league. Fast forward to a Stanley Cup and currently poised on top of the Western Conference standings. Add in a four-game winning streak and this team is sharp. San Jose once owned a formidable home-ice advantage, but those type of edges have more to do with the team than the arena, and this year they are just 10-9 on home ice. That dips to 3-6 vs. a team better than .563. The Blues have all the edges in this one. Play the Blues.
