T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues.

I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The Blues have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just broke out of a funk they were in with 2 wins in a row but they lost their most recent game in a close game to the Jets, losing in OT 4-3. I think the Blues are going to bounce back on their home ice here and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too which I think will help them get the win here. The Penguins have been very up and down in their games lately, winning 2 in a row then losing 2 in a row and so on over their past few games. They just lost their most recent game after winning 2 games in a row and they struggled to pucks in the net in that game. They looked good when they were at home but they only scored 1 goal in their most recent game, the 1st game of a road trip for them too. They have had some issues scoring in road games lately too, only scoring 3 goals in their 2 most recent road games. The Blues have been hot lately and scoring is one thing that they are doing great at the moment. I think they will be eager to bounce back here on home ice after a close loss in OT that was also on home ice, and I expect the Penguins' scoring issues in road games to creep up once again here. I like the Blues to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blues.
