Boston at St. Louis

The Blues return home following a three-game road trip content and happy. St Louis closed out its road swing with back-to-back wins against Ottawa and Montreal. The Blues were underdogs in both of those games, too. But now St Louis is a mid-size favorite against Boston. The Bruins are 3-1 during their last four games. They have been idle since Saturday. One of Boston's victories during this time span came against the Blues, 5-2. That was this past Thursday. It was St Louis' first game on its recently concluded road trip. Jordan Binnington was in net for St Louis in that game and he did not play well. Binnington is projected to start in today's game. The Bruins beat the Blues despite not having David Pastrnak, who is second on the team in goals and points. There is a chance Pastrnak could play today, which would be an added bonus. The Bruins have picked up their pace after a slow start, going 13-6 in their last 19 games. Boston has the fifth-best power play—the Blues rank 25th defensively and 26th in killing penalties. Take the Bruins.
