Preview

The Philadelphia Flyers will host the St Louis Blues on Tuesday night. This is the first time these teams face off this season.

ST LOUIS BLUES

The Blues have won 3 of their last 4 games and are third in the Central division. Robert Thomas leads the Blues with 32 total assists and has 39 points. Brayden Schenn has 11 points over the last 10 games.

In their last 10 games, the Blues are 6-4 and are averaging 3.7 goals, 6.4 assists, 4.3 penalties and 8.6 penalty minutes while allowing 2.6 goals per game with a .912 save percentage.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Flyers took their 5th straight loss against the Hurricanes in overtime. The Flyers are 8-12-5 at home. Philadelphia averages 8.7 penalty minutes per game, the 10th-most in the Eastern Conference. Zack MacEwen leads the team serving 56 total minutes.

Cam Atkinson leads the Flyers with 17 goals and has 37 points. Scott Laughton has 8 points over the last 10 games for Philadelphia.

Philadelphia are 2-8 in the last 10 games, averaging 2.9 goals, 4.8 assists, 3.2 penalties and seven penalty minutes while giving up 3.7 goals per game with an .881 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

St. Louis are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of St. Louis' last 9 games on the road.

Philadelphia are 0-5 in their last 5 games.

Philadelphia are 2-9 in their last 11 games at home.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 5 games.

Prediction

The Flyers are winning only the 33% of the time at home this season and 25% as underdogs. I get that it's tempting to take the home team as underdog but with the Flyers playing on back-to-back games I wouldn't recommend that. I can see this game ending on a 4-2 score for the Blues.

PICK: Blues -1.5 (+125)
