One team’s losing streak will end Tuesday night in St. Louis. The Blues are battling for the Central Division lead with Winnipeg but are on a two-game skid. The Florida Panthers are one game below .500 and probably not going to be a playoff team. They have dropped three straight. The Blues are solid NHL lines favorites.

Season Series
St. Louis visited south Florida on Oct. 12 and lost 5-2 – the Blues’ first defeat of the year in their fifth game. Roberto Luongo had 37 saves. Vincent Trocheck scored the go-ahead goal, Ian McCoshen had his first NHL goal, and Jared McCann, Aaron Ekblad and Nick Bjugstad also connected for Florida. Paul Stastny and Vince Dunn — also with his first career goal — countered for St. Louis. Jake Allen stopped 33 shots. The Blues played their third game on the road in four nights so were largely out of gas. Last year, the Blues lost at home to Florida, 2-1. Trocheck scored with just under 5 seconds remaining. James Reimer stopped 26 shots.Latest NFL Lines Trends
