St. Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins Prediction
There are two hit-or-miss teams, so you can make a case with the Blues and the plus money. The problem is we’re not getting enough bang for our buck. The Bruins have played the better hockey overall, and the Blues are coming off back-to-back blowout losses where they allowed a combined 12 goals. The Bruins have won 4 of their last 5 games against the Blues. The price isn’t steep enough for me to fade the Bruins. Give me the road favorite.
