Vancouver at St. Louis

The St. Louis Blues dominated at home a year ago. Such has not been the case this season, as they have been a pedestrian .500 team when skating on home ice. Vancouver is plenty capable on the road where they are 11-7-3 on the season. The Canucks are playing some of their best hockey of the season right now at 11-3 over their last 14 games, and have held 11 of those 14 opponents to 2 goals or less. After pitching three straight shutouts, the Blues have been burned for six in their last two games, and the offense has disappeared. St. Louis has scored just five times in their last five games. The Canucks are equally potent on defense, have more answers on offense right now, and they are 38-16 in their last 54 vs. a team that scored 2 or less in their previous game. The dog gets the call  here, so take Vancouver.
