This is a pivotal fifth game with the series tied 2-2, which means all-out defense. Dallas was second in the league in goals allowed, and fifth in penalty killing, while the offense slipped to #28 in goals scored. Dallas is on a 30-14-7 run UNDER the total, 16-6-5 UNDER on the road, plus 11-4-5 UNDER as a road dog. St. Louis can play stellar defense, too, at fifth in goals allowed, with a top 10 penalty killing unit. Back the UNDER.
