San Jose Sharks vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction

I’m on the Blues here. This is just a case of two teams headed in different directions, and while this is a Sharks team that’s been able to provide value in certain spots, I don’t believe this is one of them as this team can’t keep the puck out of the net right now. The Blues have been winning a lot of lower scoring games, but I think they get the job done here regardless of the score. Give me St. Louis here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: St. Louis -142
