Last night I went one for two once again, but because I was on two big dogs I still ended the night up 0.50 units. That brings my season record to (137-152-1) for -10.70 units. Tonight there are only two games on tap in the NHL and I only like one play.
Detroit Red Wings @ St. Louis Blues
The Red Wings and Blues are very similar teams in that they have each been amazing at home throughout the season and sub par on the road. The Blues have faultered a bit of late having won only 3 of their last 9 games, but they haven’t been playing horrible hockey. Their losses have mainly come in close games (3 shootouts) against quality teams and the majority of that span was on the road where the Blues haven’t been good all year. I expect the Blues to bounce back tonight at home against a team that they will take very seriously. The Red Wings haven’t been at their best for a while now having won only 6 of their last 19 games. Detroit has lost their last 7 road games and have struggled offensively scoring only 11 goals over the course of those games. When you look at their road and home records the Blues should be bigger favourites in this one and I expect them to bounce back after one of their few home losses of the year (loss to Blue Jackets 5-2).
