St. Louis Blues vs. Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

I’m on the Blues here. It’s slim, but St. Louis still mathematically has a chance at the postseason, which is more than we can say for Chicago at this point and the Blackhawks have looked like a team that’s just playing out the string down the stretch. The Blues have at least been playing some solid semblance of defense down the stretch, and I think that the Blues try to keep their slim hopes alive with a win here.
