Premium Pick

St. Louis is third in the NHL in goals allowed, a strong 10-6-2 away from home behind that dynamite defense. St. Louis has snuffed out 34 of 36 short-handed situations in December. The Blues are 114-56 against losing teams, including 26-8 away versus a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Coach Mike Yeo has shuffled his lines repeatedly in an attempt to jump-start an offense that has produced six goals in six games, going seven straight games UNDER. St. Louis is also 33-14-4 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, plus 29-11-5 UNDER playing on one day of rest. Vancouver has a losing home record, the third-fewest home wins in the league. The Canucks are #28 in goals scored, #22 in goals allowed, #23 in penalty killing. Vancouver is on a 6-24 run at home, 26-57 against a team with a winning record. The Blues extended their point streak in the series to seven games (6-0-1) with a 4-3 win at Vancouver on last month. The UNDER is also 29-14-10 when they clash, including 13-4-1 UNDER at Vancouver. Take St. Louis and the UNDER.
