Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues. The NHL pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Ryan O’Reilly, Vladimir Tarasenko, and Torey Krug are all now out with injuries, despite the fact that St. Louis was playing some respectable hockey over the past couple of weeks.

When facing a team like Tampa Bay, which has a ton of firepower and is also a bunch that has been through a lot of battles, the Blues are seeking for firepower to work with, which is not a good thing.

The Lightning rediscovered their rhythm and moved up one playoff slot in the Atlantic Division after a sluggish start.

This one goes to the visitors because the Blues are lacking key components and struggling to keep the puck out of their own net. The Tampa Bay Lightning will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
