Boston Bruins vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
The St. Louis Blues and the plus money is worth a look when you consider how hit or miss the Bruins have been this season. However, the Blues are riding an ugly four-game losing streak where the defense can’t keep the puck out of the net, and I doubt an early road game changes much. The Bruins are usually a safe bet on their home ice, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Blues. The Bruins also haven’t lost back-to-back games yet this month. Give me the Bruins and the PL for max betting value.
