Pick
I’m leaning towards the over here. I don’t trust either side defensively in this matchup if I’m being completely honest, and while the Blues have been able to score goals in bunches in recent games, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Blackhawks made a game out of it and at least scored a couple themselves. Not a game I’m rushing to bet with nothing to play for on either side, but I’ll stick with the over here.
