Our Prediction
These two teams met last season and the Blues were 2-0-0 in those two games, outscoring the Flyers 10-3 in those contests. The Blues are also 6-2-0 in their last eight games versus the Flyers at Enterprise Center and are 5-for-12 on the power play in their last four games versus Philadelphia in St. Louis. Speaking of the power play, the Blues have scored at least one power play goal in 10 of their last 13 games, going 13 for 34 on the power play since December 16. That leads the NHL. The Flyers, meanwhile, have struggled on the road, while the Blues have been dominate at home, winning nine straight in St. Louis and 17 overall, which ties the Penguins for most in the NHL.
