This is the first meeting this season between the two squads. St. Louis has won the last three games in the series, while the Blues are 6-4 in the last 10 meetings. The under has gone 5-3-2.
San Jose comes in winners of two straight and four of its last five. The Sharks are 6-4 in their last 10 games, while the under is 7-3. St. Louis has dropped three consecutive games and are 5-5 over the last 10. The under has gone 6-4.
The over is 3-1-2 in the last six meetings overall, but the under is 15-7-2 in the last 24 meetings in St. Louis. Both of these squads are defensive-minded with strong goaltending, but can occasionally have offensive lapses. Shop around to see if you can get the total at 5.5 goals, but even at 5 there is good reasoning behind this ending in a game that stays under the total or at the very least pushes.
