The Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Enterprise Center. The Boston Bruins look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The St. Louis Blues look to build on their nine-game winning streak.

The Boston Bruins are averaging 3.1 goals per game and are scoring on 21.6 percent of their power play opportunities. David Pastrnak leads Boston with 38 goals, Charlie McAvoy has 44 assists and Patrice Bergeron has 267 shots on goal. Defensively, the Boston Bruins are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 82.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Linus Ullmark has given up 92 goals on 1,051 shots faced, and Jeremy Swayman has allowed 84 goals on 1,006 shots.

The St. Louis Blues are averaging 3.7 goals per game and are scoring on 26.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Vladimir Tarasenko leads St. Louis with 33 goals, Robert Thomas has 55 assists and Pavel Buchnevich has 188 shots on goal. Defensively, the St. Louis Blues are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 83.6 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jordan Binnington has allowed 103 goals on 1,061 shots faced, and Ville Husso has given up 88 goals on 1,140 shots.

The Bruins are 11-4 in their last 15 road games and 19-8 in their last 27 overall. The Blues are 23-9 in their last 32 home games and 11-1 in their last 12 overall. The under is 3-0-2 in Bruins last 5 overall. The over is 15-5-1 in Blues last 21 overall. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The St. Louis Blues are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re at home and riding a nine-game winning streak. The line makes sense. However, we’re getting plus money with a Boston Bruins team that’s done some of their best work on the road. This will be just the third time since March where the Bruins are an underdog. I say take advantage of it while you can. The value is with the Bruins.
