The Blues can clinch a playoff berth tonight for the fifth consecutive season
with a win over Vancouver. St. Louis currently sits second in the Central division
with 95 points, just two behind Dallas for the top spot in the Western Conference.
Vancouver and St. Louis have played twice this season with the Blues winning both
by 4-3 and 3-0 scores. While the Blues are trying to lock down a playoff spot,
Vancouver is trying to avoid the worst record in the Western Conference. The
Canucks have lost 22 of their last 30 games against Western Conference teams and
have lost 23 of 31 playing teams with winning records.
Knowing goalie Jacob Markstrom has lost 6 of his last 8 starts and has a 4.50 GAA in
his last two starts against the Blues, I'll side with SL in an easy win.
St. Louis -1.5 (4-1)
