The Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues will renew hostilities in a rematch of last year's western conference first round matchup. These two teams have met twice this year with the home team winning the game. The Hawks come in off a 2-1 OT win in Winnipeg on Friday night. The Blues look to bounce back off a 7-1 loss at Columbus. Four of the last seven meetings between these two seams saw the UNDER total goals hit when playing St. Louis and we should look for that trend to continue.
Both teams solid in their own end- The Blues are allowing just 2.42 goals per game this season while the Blackhawks are one of the best teams in the league, allowing just 2.27 goals per game this season.
The Hawks struggling to score goals- Chicago has just one regulation time goal in the last three games. The Blues are a dominant team at home and scoring on them is going to be difficult for a struggling Hawks team.
X-Factor- Corey Crawford figures to start in net for Chicago after picking up his 20th win of the season Friday. He's 12-3-2 with a 1.72 goals-against average in his last 17 games against the Blues, including the playoffs, but didn't play in either matchup this season.
Selection: This is a play on the UNDER between Chicago and St. Louis (10*)
