New York Islanders vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction
I’m on the Under here. You have two teams that are playing solid defensive hockey right now with solid goaltending that just continue to find themselves playing low-scoring games and I think that when they go head-to-head here, it’s no different. This feels like a first to 3 wins kind of game so give me the under.
