When last spotted this past Monday, the Blues were blowing a four-goal lead against the Predators in a 6-5 road loss. That marked the fifth straight game in which St. Louis has surrendered at least four goals. It was also St. Louis' fifth straight OVER. There has been an average of 8.8 goals scored during the Blues' past eight games. The Blues are giving up an average of 4.3 goals per game during their last eight games. They rank 30th defensively and 29th in killing penalties. The Blues' offense has picked up, however. They are averaging four goals a game during their past five games. Dallas is averaging 3.8 goals per game in its last five contests. The Stars rank 11th in scoring and have the second-best power play in the league. The two teams met eight days ago in St. Louis, and the Stars won 4-3. Take the OVER.
