(NHL) Minnesota vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -103.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: St. Louis Blues
Rating: 8/10*

The St. Louis Blues have a chance to send the Minnesota Wild an early exit and head into the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs with a win tonight. I really don't see the Blues relax and slow down and give Minnesota a life-line just because they have a three-game lead in the series.

Minnesota has been held to three goals in the series and the Wild are 1-9 in their last 10 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Blues are a red hot 18-2-2 in their last 22 contests and my money is on the Blues to finish off the Wild here at the very first opportunity.
