St. Louis Blues vs Arizona Coyotes. The NHL pick for this game is the St. Louis Blues. With trading Ryan O’Reilly, St. Louis’ offensive production decreased.
Unfortunately, Vejmelka played horribly lately, having allowed 18 goals in his last four games, including five or more goals in three of those games.
He is now going through a horrible stretch and may simply be getting older in his second full season and first as the starting goaltender.
As a result, St. Louis should have a chance to score at least five goals in this game, if not more. This Arizona team cannot possibly overcome that.
However, the Coyotes’ penalty killing was appalling as they are 1-3-1 in their last five home games. The Blues will win to a predicted score of 7-4.
