The St. Louis Blues host the Winnipeg Jets in NHL action from the Enterprise Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Winnipeg Jets will try to snap a six-game losing skid after a 6-1 loss to Vancouver in their last game. Kyle Connor has 42 points with 19 assists and 23 goals to lead the Jets while Pierre-Luc Dubois has 31 points with 18 goals and 13 assists. Andrew Copp has 28 points with 16 assists while Blake Wheeler has 18 assists and Brenden Dillon leads the Jets with a +10 plus/minus rating this season. Connor Hellebuyck’s seen the bulk of the action this season in goal for Winnipeg, going 14-14-6 with a 2.93 GAA and a .909 save percentage this season.

The St. Louis Blues will look to build on a 5-1 win over Calgary last time out. Jordan Kyrou leads the Blues in scoring with 42 points including a team-high 17 goals and 25 assists while Vladimir Tarasenko has 39 points with 14 goals and 25 assists. Pavel Buchnevich has 36 points with 15 goals and 21 assists and Ivan Barbashev has 34 points, logging 15 goals. Robert Thomas leads the Blues with 27 assists as well this season. Jordan Binnington’s seen the bulk of St. Louis’ action in goal, going 11-9-3 with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage while Ville Husso is 9-2-1 with a 1.81 GAA and a .945 save percentage this season.

Winnipeg is 0-6 in their last 6 games overall and 0-6 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games as an underdog. St. Louis is 14-2 in their last 16 home games and 17-4 in their last 21 games as a home favorite while the under is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games as a favorite.

I get why one may give a look to Winnipeg and the plus money, but I’m firmly on the Blues here. St. Louis is back to consistently looking like the team that lifted Lord Stanley’s mug a couple of years ago, and they’re 14-2 in their last 16 home games. Betting against St. Louis on home ice is not wise right now. Give me the Blues in this one.
