T.M. Selection: Blues (8*).

I think the defending champs will bounce back here. St. Louis has been here before and it's still loaded with veteran talent that has been through the grinder and knows how to bounce back. The Canucks are largely in unchartered territory here and I do think that their inexperience will hurt them in trying to close out their opponent here. Also note that Van is a poor 3-8 in its last 11 after a three goals or more victory in its previous outing. All things considered, I believe this line could/should in fact be a lot larger, swinging the value in favor of the home side here!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blues.
