Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues Pick
Spread Pick for Blackhawks vs. Blues
- Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 (4 units)
Covering the puck line is a tough thing to do as a favorite, so this is going to be intriguing. Chicago is currently 4-0 on the puck line this season, so they can keep games close throughout the first handful of games. Spencer Knight has been able to keep games close as he has been in the net for three of the first four games for the Blackhawks and making things easier for the team. With Chicago only attempting 19.8 shots per game this season, they can take advantage and attack with good shots to keep the game close. St. Louis is a good team with a good defense that can limit good looks. However, this can be a low-scoring game and which leans the Blackhawks' favor. All in all, go with the Chicago Blackhawks getting 1.5 goals to improve to 5-0 against the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Blackhawks vs. Blues
- UNDER 5.5 (4 units)
These teams are struggling a bit to score on the power play as Chicago is shooting 15.4% on the power play while St. Louis is converting 22.2% with the man advantage thus far. Neither team has been too aggressive in terms of putting shots on the opposing goaltender, as Chicago is dead last with 19.8 shot attempts per game, while St. Louis is 13th with 30.0 shots on goal per game thus far. These defenses, as of lat,e are stepping up as they are each allowing 2.0 goals in their two games before this matchup. Go with UNDER 5.5 GOALS to be scored as the better bet here.
