Tampa Bay Lightning vs. St. Louis Blues Predictions

The Lightning, despite a recent two-game skid, are looking to reignite the spark that has seen them as perennial contenders. Nikita Kucherov continues to be a force on the ice, leading the team with 11 goals and 23 points. However, Tampa Bay’s defense has shown some vulnerability, and they’ll need to tighten up against a Blues team that has found its scoring touch, netting 22 goals in their past five games.

St. Louis, on a two-game winning streak, has seen a resurgence in offensive production, particularly from center Robert Thomas who leads the team with 15 points. The Blues’ power play, which recently snapped out of a slump, will be tested against the Lightning’s penalty kill units. Defensively, the Blues have been solid at home, and goaltender Jordan Binnington will be a key player as he faces a high-powered Tampa Bay offense.

This game could come down to key matchups, particularly the faceoff circle where both teams have shown prowess. Special teams could also play a pivotal role, with both squads boasting the talent to capitalize on power play opportunities. As the teams clash at the Enterprise Center, it will be a test of the Lightning’s ability to bounce back on the road against a Blues team that is building momentum in front of their home crowd.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. St. Louis Blues Pick

The St. Louis Blues are coming into this matchup with a two-game winning streak and a notable surge in offensive production, which makes them a compelling pick for the moneyline bet. With the Enterprise Center providing a solid home-ice advantage and the team’s recent knack for finding the back of the net, the Blues are well-positioned to capitalize on the Lightning’s recent defensive lapses. Furthermore, the Blues’ power play unit seems to have found its rhythm, which could be crucial in a game where special teams might tip the scales. Considering the Blues’ positive trends at home and their ability to outperform expectations, the moneyline bet on St. Louis offers a valuable opportunity.

While the historic head-to-head data leans slightly towards the Lightning, the current momentum is with the Blues, especially given their recent offensive outburst and Tampa Bay’s struggles on the road. The Lightning’s recent two-game skid and the Blues’ resurgence, particularly from players like Robert Thomas, suggest a shift in dynamics that could see St. Louis continue their winning ways. The Blues’ goaltending has also been more consistent at home, and with the crowd behind them, they have the elements needed to secure a victory against a formidable but currently faltering Tampa Bay team.

The Pick: St. Louis Blues +115. (FanDuel)
