Carolina Hurricanes vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction
I’m on the Blues here. It’s not easy to fade Carolina, but I’m still concerned about Carolina on the road and their strength of schedule to this point. St. Louis has been at their best at home this season by a fair margin, and I look for that to continue in this game as well. Give me St. Louis.
