4:05 PM EST. Regulation only. The Blue Notes don’t need any coverage here because the media has covered this team extensively over the past month during their torrid run to put them strongly in a playoff position. The Blues 11-game winning streak came to an end in Dallas last game out but make no mistake that the Blues were the superior team by a wide margin and simply ran into a hot goaltender. The Blues winning streak has the support of the underlying numbers too. This team is playing at an extremely high level and it’s all legit. That said, this wager is all about fading the Bruins in a difficult spot.

The Bruins will close out a tough five-game trip here that began with four games on the West Coast before this one stopover in St. Louis. The last game the B’s played was in Las Vegas on Wednesday night so they’ve had three two full days off since. We have spoken before about the “Vegas hangover” but in case you missed it, in a nutshell, teams’ have a horrible record the next game after playing at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Boston actually played a great game in Vegas and they’re tough as shoe leather but man, this is a tough spot. The Bruins will return home for a six-game trip after this one and it’s also worth noting that this is a late afternoon game in St. Louis. Boston goes to Vegas once a year. They had two days off after winning there and we doubt they went to their hotel rooms to read a book. Unbeaten in 11 straight, the Bruins have to exhale at some point, right? Right??!! We’re suggesting this spot is the exhale spot.
