Toronto at St. Louis

Toronto has dropped two in a row as the offense has gone ice cold, scoring a total of 1 goal. In fact, over the last five games they have scored just 11 goals. A team that let a cold November ruin a good October in 2010 finds itself in a similar situation in 2011. Injuries are taking a toll on the Leafs and consistency is hard to find. The UNDER is 5-0 in the Maple Leafs’ last five road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, and the UNDER is 10-3-3 in their last 16 following a home loss of 3 or more goals. They take on a St. Louis team that is playing good defense at No. 11 in the NHL in goals against (2.5). The UNDER is 5-1 in the Blues’ last six overall and 8-2 UNDER the total in their last 10 games as a home favorite. In addition, the UNDER is 15-5-3 in the Blues’ last 23 games as a home favorite of -151 to -200. The UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in St. Louis between these clubs and I see another defensive battle. Play the UNDER.
