Vancouver Canucks vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
I’m on the Blues here. Vancouver is still a solid team and St. Louis has their inconsistencies, but the Canucks are still allowing around four goals per game at home this season and it makes it really hard about feeling good getting behind Vancouver on home ice when those struggles remain. The Blues have had a tendency to surprise when a lot don’t really expect it from them, and I think St. Louis shows up here. Give me the Blues and the plus money.
