REASONING: If you don't mind laying some juice, we think the home side does in fact offer pretty good value in this spot. Both teams come in off victories, Dallas beating the Canucks 2-1 and St. Louis earning a 4-3 shootout win over the Wild. Dallas though is just 3-8 on the road and has scored two goals or less in regulation in five of its last six. Goaltender Antti Niemi is 0-2 with a 5.55 GAA on the road. Blues' goaltender Jake Allen is 10-6 with a 2.36 GAA this season, including 7-2 with a 1.42 GAA at home.
The bottom line: Note that Dallas is just 2-12 in its last four after allowing two goals or less in its previous game and just 1-7 in its last eight following a win, while St. Louis is 57-14 in its last 71 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. We think Allen and the consistent home side are worth the price of admission in this spot.
