ASA TOP PLAY 10* on St Louis Blues Money Line (-) over Vancouver Canucks, Sunday at 10:30 PM ET
The Blues are the defending Stanley Cup Champions but are down 0-2 in this series. We are expecting a huge response from St Louis on Sunday night. The Blues have actually outshot the Canucks by a combined margin of 68 to 47 in the first two games of this series. The problem has been that Vancouver has actually scored 3 special teams goals in EACH game! The Blues simply must stay out of the penalty box (and be better on the penalty kill as needed) and this is a Cup winning team that certainly knows that fact. Additionally, St Louis might switch to goalie Jake Allen for this one. He looked fantastic in his lone appearance in this post-season when he faced the Stars in the round robin last week and nearly got a shutout in the eventual 2-1 shootout loss. The fact is that Blues netminder Jordan Binnington wasn't really to blame for the OT loss in Game 2 and certainly the St Louis net is in good shape whether it is Binnington or Allen between the pipes. Allen would give the Blues a spark here but they'll be "sparking" either way in our opinion. They had a great chance to win Game 2 but fell just short. Give Canucks credit as they have been playing very well and Bo Harvat has been playing fantastic hockey. However, the gritty Blues are trending the right direction and played a very strong game on Friday. With another strong game on Sunday, this time they will be rewarded for their efforts. Keep in mind the first game between these teams was tied at 2 heading to the third period and the second game went into overtime. The Blues have played better than what they have to show for it and they know it. They will simply be relentless in Game 3 here and refuse to be denied. Look for the defending Stanley Cup Champions to put it all together tonight and get right back into this series. There is excellent line value with the Blues here as a small favorite as the Canucks are getting a little too much respect at this point! We'll take it and grab the value...lay it! ASA TOP PLAY 10* St Louis Blues on the money line in late night action Sunday.
