How to bet St. Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins
One of the best teams in the east facing one of the best teams in the west means that we have some real value on display here. The Boston Bruins are always a good straight up bet at home. The Blues are a solid road team, and might be a nice pick. Hockey fans who like goals may be tempted by the OVER/UNDER.Why bet on the St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues (20-10-4) appear to have played themselves out of a bit of a rocky patch, and are currently on a 3-game winning streak that they should be able to extend to 4 when they face the Flyers in Philly on Monday. That means that they will be playing road games on consecutive nights, but the Blues seem to thrive in those sorts of situations, going 6-2 SU in the last 8 games when playing the third of 3 games in 4 nights. They have also dominated teams from the Atlantic Division, going 39-17 in their last 56 games. The Blues average 2.5 goals per game, and are in the top 10 on defense with 2.4 goals per game against.
