St. Louis at New Jersey

Dylan Garand stopped 32 of 33 shots as the Blues lost 3-1 at the Rangers on Tuesday, and St. Louis went 0 for 6 on the power play. New Jersey is 10-5-0 with five straight home wins. St. Louis is 7-7-1 and 3-5-0 on the road. The Devils have faced only 34 power plays, the fewest in the NHL, and they have killed 67.6% of them, fourth-worst in the league, which is the number my case rests on. Edmonton scored three times on 21 shots against New Jersey on Tuesday before the Devils won 4-3 in a shootout. Colorado put 45 shots on the Devils in a 5-2 win on October 28. The Blues scored five against Detroit on October 31 and four against Boston on October 29, so St. Louis has the offense to punish a defense that leaks shots and goals. Our bankroll needs the Blues to win only a little over a third of the time at this price, and with that penalty kill across the ice, I'd go with St. Louis on the moneyline tonight.
