Blues vs Jets Prediction

St. Louis won 1-0 their previous meeting against Winnipeg this season at home and are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings. The over is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.

In this balanced matchup, both teams have exactly 19 wins this season and Winnipeg is playing its second game in two nights, having to get back home after playing in Chicago yesterday. They have lost two straight games following a winning streak, while St. Louis is 2-4 in its last 6 games. Both teams failed to score in their previous matches and St. Louis’ last four games have gone under the total, so I expect a low-scoring affair. Go with the under 6 in this one.
