The St. Louis Blues will look to keep pace with the suddenly ‘super hungry’ and NHL spread favorites Nashville Predators when they square off at the Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday night. Let’s find out if the Blues have what it takes to pull off the upset in the NHL betting lines or if the Predators can back their favoritism.
“He gave us an opportunity to leave the building with the points,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “We need to play a lot better in front of him … he was outstanding.”
“He was there all night long, making these post-to-post cross-ice saves,” Predators center Ryan Johansen said of Rinne after the win in Montreal. “He was phenomenal. Hats off to him tonight.”

Why Bet the St. Louis Blues?
Why bet on St. Louis? Because they’re desperate! The Blues are coming off a 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh where Kyle Brodziak scored their lone goal in the second period. St. Louis appeared to take a 2-1 lead early in the third period, but Paul Statsny’s tip-in overturned by the Situation Room when they ruled he played it with a high stick. “It wasn’t our worst game we played,” Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo said. “I thought we battled hard. It’s 1-1 until obviously the third and a couple of mistakes. You’ve got to find a way to win a hockey game. But if you look at the overall effort, it was there.”Team Statistics
