โ The St. Louis Blues have been outstanding at home this season, going 23-9-4. There has been a little crack in the armor since the beginning of March, as they are 4-4-1 through the last nine home contests, but have won the last three at home.
Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild (43-21-5; 33-36 ATS) lost in Nashville on Tuesday, 6-2. The Wild had been 9-0-1 entering the contest. Minnesota is 19-14-3 on the road, including going 2-1-0 away from Minnesota this month. The Wild are in second place in the Central Division, holding a one-point lead over St. Louis.
Minnesota tied the score on a Mats Zuccarello goal a little over 13 minutes into the first period, but then gave up three unanswered tallies in the loss to Nashville. Zuccarello netted his 21st goal of the season and Kirill Kaprizov scored his 40th of the year. Kaprizov has been on an absolute tear of late, scoring goals in seven of his last eight games. This is not a Minnesota team that many had become accustomed to, as they are fourth in the NHL in goals per game at 3.61.
St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues (40-20-10; 40-30 ATS) defeated the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday, 4-1. That moved the Blues to 6-3-1 and they are in third place in the Central, a point behind Minnesota. The Blues have been exceptional at home this season, going 23-9-4 and are winners of the last four meetings between these teams in St. Louis.
Ville Husso stopped 28 of 29 shots in the victory over Seattle. He has taken over the No.1 duties of this team, going 21-6-5 with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage. Husso has allowed eight total goals in his four April starts. That has helped St. Louis lower their goals-against average to 2.86, 11th overall. They are also sixth in penalty killing at 83.2%.
