Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks go for their 5th straight game at home and will host the St Louis Blues on Sunday.  This is the 4th time these teams met, the Blues have the lead 2-1.

ST LOUIS BLUES

The Blues have won 3 straight games and are second in the Central division. They are 10-5-2 against opponents in the Central and rank third in the Western Conference averaging 6.3 assists per game, led by Robert Thomas with 0.8.

Vladimir Tarasenko has 46 total points while scoring 19 goals and totaling 27 assists for the Blues. Brayden Schenn has 11 points over the last 10 games for St. Louis.

In their last 10 games, the Blues are 6-3-1, averaging 3.6 goals, 6.2 assists, 3.9 penalties and 7.8 penalty minutes while giving up 2.7 goals per game with a .908 save percentage.

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

The Blackhawks have lost 3 of their last 4 games and 7 of their last 8 games at home. The Blackhawks are 9-16-6 in conference games. Chicago scores 2.4 goals per game, the least in the Western Conference. Alex DeBrincat leads the team with 29 total goals.

DeBrincat leads the Blackhawks with 29 goals and has 42 points. Patrick Kane has four goals and nine assists over the last 10 games for Chicago.

Chicago are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games and are averaging 2.7 goals, 4.6 assists, three penalties and 6.6 penalty minutes while giving up 3.2 goals per game with an .899 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

St. Louis are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.

St. Louis are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

Chicago are 4-11 SU in their last 15 games.

Chicago are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games at home.

Prediction

Don't get confused if the Blackhawks just scored 8 goals in the last game it was because of a complete lack of defense from the Devils. The Blues are allowing 2.7 goals in their last 10 games and are 6-1 in their last 7 games against Chicago. I'm not expecting a blowout on this one but the Blues should get the win for sure.
