St. Louis at Chicago

The Blackhawks come home off a successful road trip to a comfort zone that sees them win with high frequency. The Blackhawks win here because they seldom give up much. Their last five at home show them allowing just 7 goals, or 1.4 per game. The Blues are a mystery, playing poorly at home, but at a much higher level on the road. The road defense has carried the mail as the Blues have allowed just 4 goals in their last three road games or 1.3 per contest. The Blues are at their best on the defensive end vs. the best, and have turned in a 7-1-2 UNDER mark on the road vs. a home team with a home winning percentage of .600+. The Blackhawks are 16-6 in their last 22 as a home favorite, and five of the last six have gone UNDER in this series. I'll be on the UNDER in this one.
