The St. Louis Blues Are Coming Off A Win

St. Louis improved to 30-27-6 with a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs. As underdogs on the puck line, the Blues covered, and the total line of 6 goals was a push.

After trailing 1-0 in the first period, the Blues tied it up at 3:29 in the second with a goal from Colton Parayko. St. Louis went on to score three unanswered goals before the Maple Leafs added another in the third period.

The Ducks fell to 27-27-7 with a 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks. Anaheim, favored by -1.5 goals, failed to cover the puck line. The total was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined score of 6 fell just short of that mark.

Anaheim’s defense struggled early, allowing two goals in the first period and another in the second before finally getting on the board in the third. Brock McGinn scored the Ducks’ first goal at 10:16 in the third period, and Mason McTavish added another with just 4 seconds left in the game.

Colton Parayko found the net twice for the Blues in their 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs, scoring his second and third goals of the season. He was perfect on his two shots on goal and added his fifth assist on Pavel Buchnevich’s empty-netter. Buchnevich now has four goals this season.

Blues vs Ducks Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Ducks to take down the Blues at home. With the moneyline currently at +127, I’m placing my bet on the Ducks straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Ducks winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Ducks straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
