The Canucks are 4-0 in their last 4 road games and 10-2 in their last 12 overall. The Blues are 0-4 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 2-7 in their last 9 home games.

The road team is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings. The underdog is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.

Neither team has anything to play for at this stage, so the St. Louis Blues probably have the edge because they’re at home. However, the Vancouver Canucks are playing their best hockey of the season and appear to want to finish the season on a high note. I’ll ride the hot hand and side with the Canucks in this spot.
