NHL Betting Trends
St. Louis
The Blues are 10-2 in their last 12 games. St. Louis is 5-1 in its last six games as a road underdog.
Vancouver
The Canucks are 7-1 in their last eight games as a favorite. Vancouver is 4-1 in its last five games versus the Western Conference.
Prediction:
The Canucks have been very good thus far this season, but the Blues have hit their stride and do a lot of things right on a regular basis in order to win games. I have no issues betting on St. Louis here with plus money and No. 1 goalie Jordan Binnington in net. Both teams had a day off between games and had to travel, so there is no fatigue advantage. Roll with the Blues in this spot.
