St. Louis Blues vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back the Detroit Red Wings, but I have probably less interest in backing the Blues. The St. Louis Blues have lost 5 of their last 6 games, and their offense hasn’t been able to break out of their funk. The Detroit Red Wings have issues of their own, but they’re at home at least, which is the one edge we have in a pick ’em spot. The Red Wings have also had the upper hand over the Blues in recent games. Give me the home team.
