New Jersey Devils vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
The Devils have been the better team this season overall, but they’ve scored one or fewer goals in each of their last five games. The Devils haven’t won a game since January 29. That’s a month of no wins, folks. The Blues have seen 14 of their 21 wins come at home and they’re fresh off a strong showing against Seattle. I can’t get behind the Devils with how they’ve looked lately. Give me the blues and the slightly cheaper price on Saturday afternoon.
