Odds

St. Louis is listed as a -150 road favorite while Chicago is a +130 home underdog. The total for this game is set at 6 goals.

Injuries

For St. Louis, Pavel Buchnevich and Robert Thomas are both out for this game with upper body injuries. For Chicago, Jarred Tinordi and Jujhar Khaira are both questionable for this game while Philipp Kurashev is out for the season.

Matchup History

Chicago’s 5-3 win over St. Louis back on January 21st, 2023, snapped St. Louis’ four-game head-to-head win streak in this matchup.

Trends

St. Louis is 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 2-7 in their last 9 division games while the over is 38-12-6 in their last 56 road games. Chicago is 11-23 in their last 34 home games and 20-48 in their last 68 games overall while the over is 3-0-2 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.

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.
