Blackhawks vs Blues Prediction

St. Louis comes into this game barely hanging onto life in the Wild Card race in the West and they cannot afford to lose any more games. The Blues have lost two of their last three games, but they do play their best hockey at home, where they are 23-13-2 this year. Chicago has alternated wins and losses over their last six games and they are just 7-30-1 on the road this season. The Blackhawks have been so inconsistent scoring this entire season and I can’t back them on the road. Take the Blues -1.5 here.
