Philadelphia Flyers vs. St. Louis Blues Game Preview and Prediction

Since opening their doors for business in the fall of 1967 the St. Louis Blues have had several flirtations with the Stanley Cup but have never been able to close the deal but this year looks like their best chance yet, especially with the acquisition of G Ryan Miller in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. Miller is the type of elite netminder needed for a deep playoff run. Meanwhile head coach Craig Berube has engineered a stunning improvement in Philadelphia. The St. Louis Blues will host the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night with coverage on NBCSN starting at 8 PM ET.

Orange and in the Black on Road for Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers have won 9 out of their last 15 away games as just 3 out of their last 12 away games have gone under the NHL betting total. The Flyers have been one of the hottest teams on the NHL betting board and a team that has emerged as one of the top goal scoring teams in the league as they ranked 9th in the NHL for lighting the lamp.

Sweet Note for Blues at Home

The St. Louis Blues are a favorite to win the Stanley Cup and a big reason why their dominance is at home as they Blues have won 15 out of their last 20 home games with just 5 out of their last 20 home games going under the total.

The Pick

The St. Louis Blues have won 3 out of their last 4 games with the Philadelphia Flyers as 3 out of those 4 games also went under the total. The St. Louis Blues have won their last 2 games at home against the Philadelphia Flyers with both of those games also going under the total. The Blues are the deeper team with a far superior defense and the better goaltending tandem. St. Louis will have a serious look at the Stanley Cup this spring while the Flyers metrics are not indicative of a championship team or a team that can hang with the Blues. We’ll call for the St. Louis Blues and under the total in this one!
