VEGAS -½ +112 over St. Louis

4:05 PM EST. Regulation only. What a difficult spot this is the Blues. On December 21, St. Louis headed out for three games at San Jose, Los Angeles and Winnipeg respectively. They then came home for one game on Dec. 29 to face Winnipeg again before heading out for another two games to Arizona on New Year’s Eve and then Colorado on January 2nd. This is now the Blues third game in a row on the road and their sixth road game in their last seven and they have had to travel for all seven. It’s not just travel, it’s extensive travel, as they have been all over the map for two weeks and this is their fourth game in six days. The Blues finally head home after this one and whether they’re having fun in Vegas before the game and after it, it’s not likely to matter. The Blues rank 14th in puck possession numbers during five-on-five play over the past month.

It is not the Blue Notes that have something to prove, as they are the champs and whenever the champs come to town, the hosts get jacked up to face them. The Golden Knights have their swag back. We’re not sure if they ever lost it but they have it back, as they are dominating puck-possession number once again and now sit fourth in the league in time in the offensive end during five-on-five play. The Knights have been home all week, they’re on one day rest. Not only are the Knights the superior team, they’re in a much better spot too. The only way we lose this one is if the Knights get unlucky because they will outplay the Blues and it’ll probably be by a wide margin.
