St. Louis plays its fourth road game in the last six contests. They have looked road weary, even at home, losing four of the last six games. They come off a two-game homestand losing both games, 6-4 to Ottawa as -145 chalk and a 7-3 disaster to Washington. State. Louis is #26 in the NHL in goals allowed and has a losing road mark. The Blues goaltending is a mess: Jake Allen gave up four goals on 10 shots Thursday in the loss to Washington. He has been pulled in his last three starts and in four of the last six, while allowing 10 goals on 36 shots in his last three games. Backup Carter Hutton has not fared much better, allowing three goals on eight shots the last game. The pair have a combined save percentage of .888, last in the NHL, and the Blues are 3-11 playing on one day of rest. Winnipeg is home for the second straight game, #11 in goals scored, off a 6-3 rout of Arizona. They continue a nice four-game homestand and the home team holds all the cards. Play Winnipeg.
