PREVIEW

The St. Louis Blues, who play in the Central Division, are 5 wins away from matching a franchise record set 12 years ago. They are in town to play the Anaheim Ducks, who are in the Pacific Division, and struggling.

The Blues have done well against opponents from the Pacific Division, winning 10 of the last 11 matches. That matches up well against Anaheim, who have dropped 16 of their last 21 matches against Central Division opponents.

St Louis are looking to improve on a recent record here in Anaheim that has seen them go 2-14-1, but the last two meetings did end 3-1 and 4-2 to St. Louis, although those were played at their place. What has been really impressive about the Blues this season is the defence, as they have a GAA of just 1.85 through the season!

Anaheim got a win against San Jose in their last match, but they still have a 2-5 run going at the moment, where 4 of the 5 losses have been by at least 2 goals. The last 2 matches played here saw them lose 3-1 to Nashville and 4-2 to Los Angeles.

TEAM STATISTICS

ST. LOUIS ---- AWAY 17-15-4 ---- STREAK Won 1
ANAHEIM ---- HOME 19-16-2 ---- STREAK Won 1

BETTING VERDICT

I picked 2 favourites yesterday and both lost badly in regulation. I really like the regulation time win, and will recommend that to those that don't want to take a risk.

I'm going to go with the road team to seriously change the nature of results they have had here recently and take them to win by a bit, so we can go for the Puck Line bet here at big odds.

The Pick :
