St. Louis Blues vs Philadelphia Flyers prediction
The St. Louis Blues are going through a rough patch at the moment, and these things usually don’t fix itself on the road. The Blues have had issues on the road overall this season, where they’re 13-15-2. The Blues need to find their offense again before they can be trusted in spots like this. The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off a respectable week, winning two of their last three games, and they’re at home here where they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games. The Flyers beat the Blues on the road 4-2 back in January, and they’ve won 3 of the last 4 meetings against St. Louis overall. The line is reasonable. Give me the Flyers.
