St. Louis Blues in Good Form as Ottawa Senators Struggle

The St. Louis Blues have been in good form recently, winning three of their last four games. Their offensive prowess is evident as they have scored a total of 15 goals in these matches. However, their special teams performance has been subpar, with only a 16 percent conversion rate on power play opportunities. In contrast, the Ottawa Senators have been struggling, losing two of their last three games and conceding a total of 12 goals in their last four games. Additionally, playing on consecutive nights will likely lead to fatigue for the Senators, impacting their ability to keep up with the Blues. Ottawa's offensive output has been lackluster, with only six goals in their last three games. Despite their better performance on special teams, it is expected that St. Louis' strong defensive play will limit Ottawa's scoring opportunities in this upcoming game. Overall, it is advised to place your bet on St. Louis to cover the money line.
