The St. Louis Blues have a smaller sample size than most teas at this point, but they’ve been absolutely dominant at both ends through 3 contests. With an elite level defense, it’s hard to step in front of the Blues based on what we’ve seen up to this point. The Winnipeg Jets will be up for this game at home, but their defense has been spotty, and that’s concerning when going up against an above average side. Give me the Blues and the cheap price.
