Stl Blues at San Jose

San Jose loves the road, but can't like playing at home. At 25-11 on the road, they are the best in the NHL. But at home they are 16-18! That's is very strange but we'll take advantage of that as they host the lowly Blues. The Sharks home woes must be due to playing good teams, right? They must still do OK vs. losing teams, right? Wrong! They are 8-10 this season at home vs. losing teams. A sub-.500 team laying 2-to-1 odds can't be a good bet. Teams off two straight road wins are at best a 50-50 proposition in their next game in the NHL. The Sharks are 1-8 this season at home off a road win. We'll take the big odds on St. Louis. We also like the OVER. St. Louis is 18-9 OVER this season after having lost 4+ of their last six games. They are also 7-1 OVER on the road after allowing 3+ goals in two straight games. St. Louis and the OVER here.
