St. Louis at San Jose

Last-place St. Louis has lost five of seven on the road. The Blues have gone five straight games UNDER the total, and this is the end of a three-game road trek where they have scored only four total goals. They had to play last night, too, at Vegas. Alex Steen (upper body) missed the game while defenseman Carl Gunnarsson exited the contest due to an upper-body injury. They run into a rested first-place San Jose squad that has great balance with them being #13 in goals scored and second in penalty killing. This is the fourth straight home game for San Jose, on a six-game homestand. Sharks goalie Martin Jones has a 1.35 goals-against average versus St. Louis in San Jose. San Jose is 15-6-1 UNDER the total after allowing five goals or more the last contest, and the UNDER is 4-0-3 when these teams clash. Back the rested home team in a defensive duel. Play San Jose and the UNDER.
