Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt have combined for 32 goals and 52 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six skaters have 11 goals or more, and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense with ease.

Devils vs Blues Pick

Money Line Pick For Devils vs Blues

  • Blues (-110) (4 units)

The Devils look to snap their losing streak but the Blues look to step up on their home ice and take over this game. The Blues should create plenty of scoring chances against the Devils, who allow 3.07 goals per game, with Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with centering and cross-ice passes. The Blues should limit a Devils offense that averages only 2.46 goals per game with Justin Faulk, Philip Broberg, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jordan Binnington to make plenty of big saves. The Blue should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.

Take the Blues money line as home Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Devils vs Blues

  • Under 5.5 (5 Units)

The Devils and Blues have awful offenses that look to make this game a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Devils should limit a Blues offense that averages only 2.60 goals per game with Dougie Hamilton, Luke Hughes, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jacob Markstrom to make plenty of big saves. The Blues should eliminate and potentially shut out the Devils, who have scored only two goals in their last two games, with Justin Faulk, Philip Broberg, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while goaltender Jordan Binnington steps up and blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 5.5 goals.
