Losers of the last three, the St. Louis Blues have struggled to start 2017. The team will look to bounce back against a very good Pittsburgh Penguins team.
The Penguins have won four straight games and are playing some great hockey out of the Metropolitan Division.
The team will look for a big win that could tie them in points with the Blue Jackets and Capitals.
St. Louis Blues
After three very bad losses that have seen the Blues give up 13 total goals, St. Louis really needs a win. However, it’s going up against a fantastic offense in the Penguins and will need to play much better defense in order to have a shot at breaking the losing streak.
Frankly, defense has been the Blues’ main weak point all year.

The team ranks 25th in the league in goals against and has given up 147 this season. It’s going to be tough for this team’s medicore defense to keep up with such a potent Penguins offense so the Blues will definitely need some scoring to take the pressure off.
The Blues have been a decent team on the goal-scoring end. St. Louis ranks 12th in goals scored with 134 on the year.
Vladimir Tarasenko has been the team’s top offensive performer.
He has 20 goals and 26 assists on the season. However, he hasn’t been able to find the back of the net in his last five games but has still generated offense with three assists over that period.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh couldn’t ask for a better matchup when the team faces the Blues on Tuesday. The number one ranked offense in the NHL, the Penguins have put up 169 goals on the season and should be able to tack on a few more against a poor St. Louis defense.
The Penguins average 3.67 goals per game and have been one of the most consistent teams all year.
Future Hall-of-Famer Sidney Crosby is having a brilliant year thus far. He leads the team with 28 goals and 26 assists, including two goals and seven assists over his last five games.

He’s the captain for a reason and continues to lead this team to victory.
Center Evgeni Malkin has been a great asset for the Penguins for years and this season is no different. He has 22 goals and 32 assists, including five goals and four assists over his last five games.
If the offense gets going, there can be almost no stopping it.
NHL Betting Trends:
- St. Louis is 2-7 ATS in the last nine games
- The Total has gone OVER in four of Pittsburgh’s last five games at home
Free St. Louis Blues vs. Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Hockey Prediction:
Pittsburgh’s offense should be able to get it done against a Blues team that has given up 13 goals over the last three games and lost all of them. Pittsburgh will get the W at home.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Pittsburgh -1.5
Pittsburgh has been a much better team on both sides of the ice than St. Louis. With the Blues’ recent struggles seemingly ongoing, I like the Pittsburgh money line in this one.
