Result: Win
ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* St Louis Blues -140 over Calgary Flames, Thursday at 8:05 PM ET - We had our eyes on this spot ever since these teams met on Monday at Calgary. That game ended up an embarrassing 7-1 loss for the Blues. Now the rematch is in St Louis and everything is set up perfectly for payback for the home team here. The Blues have been off since Monday's loss so they are well-rested here. The Flames were at Columbus last night so they are in a back to back spot and they used their #1 goalie last night Markstrom. That means it is likely back-up Daniel Vladar will be between the pipes for the Flames tonight. He has allowed 17 goals in his last 4 appearances! As for the Blues, they are expected to have Ville Husso between the pipes for this one as he was the first one to leave the ice at today's game-day skate. Husso has been superb of late with a 5-0 record in January and a sparkling 1.13 GAA in his 6 appearances this month! Prior to losing at Calgary, St Louis had won 13 of 17 games! The Flames, prior to last night's win over a struggling Blue Jackets team, had lost 4 straight road games and 6 of their last 8 away from home. Home ice edge, goalie edge, revenge factor, rest edge...it all combines for a super spot to back the hosts at a reasonable money line price here. Lay the money line price with the home fave here for a Top Game.
