The teams have split two meetings with St. Louis winning the rematch 3-2 on Dec. 12. The Blues have been struggling to get on track all season, but they do come off two impressive victories over Vegas and Montreal before having three days off. The Blues have won five of seven after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, and they have won six of the past seven meetings with the Blackhawks. Chicago has lost 10 of 15 overall and 11 of 15 against the Central Division, although it has won its past three games. The Blackhawks have lost four of five versus opponents that scored two or fewer goals in their previous game. Jordan Binnington recorded a shutout while stopping all 26 shots as the Blues defeated the Canadiens on Saturday. However, St. Louis has also been riding the hot hand of Joel Hofer, who is likely to start tonight. Hofer has won five of seven starts. Play the Blues on the puckline.
