Free Dallas Stars vs. St. Louis Blues NHL Prediction
Both squads enter this tilt with momentum, however The Blues are clearly the far superior team per stats and rankings. That is, when they’re full strength, but unfortunately are missing two defensemen and Tarasenko due to illness.
That being said, Dallas hasn’t won a road game since November and is 1-5 on the road while following a win all year long. On top of that, Dallas is on no rest, as they played The Penguins Saturday.
As these angles lead towards the home team winning, its critical to know St. Louis hasn’t won a Sunday game in their last 6 attempts.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: UNDER 5.5
After weighing all the options, the moneyline is to risky as these squads buck so many trends in similar fashion. However, one commonality is a plethora of unders between these foes.
To boot, the last four times these squads faced-off, the under was cashed with ease. And like aforementioned, key scorer Tarasenko missing this game should deplete St. Louis offensive output.
