10* CENTRAL DIV. TOTAL OF MONTH: 67-39 NHL YTD!
(NHL) Blues (STL) vs. Hockey Club (UTA),
Total: 5.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* CENTRAL DIVISION TOM on the OVER Blues/Hockey Club.

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but everything points to a much higher-scoring affair here finally on Sunday night in my opinion.

St. Louis enters off four straight losses, including a 5-0 setback at Colorado last time out. Note though that the Blues have seen the total fly OVER the number in eight of their last 11 off a shutout road loss as an underdog.

The Blues play with revenge after a 4-2 loss here in mid-January as well, and note that St. Louis has in fact seen the total eclipse the posted number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a road loss vs. an opponent.

Utah is off four straight losses as well. It's seen the total go UNDER in three straight after a 3-2 OT loss at home to Columbus, but note that the Hockey Club has seen the total soar OVER the number in three of its last four after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row.

Look for these two desperate divisional opponents to push the pace from start to finish and expect this total to fly well OVER the number before the final horn sounds.

Good luck, NP
