Stars vs Blues Pick
Money Line Pick for Stars vs. Blues
- Stars (-135) (4 units)
The Stars look like one of the best teams in the NHL, and I see them bouncing back from a rough loss and taking over this game from the first period. The Stars should create plenty of scoring chances against a Blues defense that has allowed 4.25 goals per game, with Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Stars look to bounce back from a game where they allowed seven goals and limit the Blues' offense with Thomas Harley, Esa Lindell, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers and limiting shooting lanes, allowing goaltender Jake Oettinger to make plenty of easy saves. The Stars should win the game with a strong performance on the road.
Take the Stars money line as road Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Stars vs Blues
- Over 5.5 (5 Units)
Both teams are led by their offenses, and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the first period. The Blues, who average 3.00 goals per game, should create plenty of scoring chances with Jake Neighboors, Pavel Buchnevich, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Stars, who average 4.25 goals per game, should run up the score with Mikko Rantanen, Jason Robertson, Wyatt Johnston, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while defenseman Thomas Harley fires shots on the net from the blue line. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game controlled by both offenses.
Take the Over on 5.5 goals.
