Prediction

Blues 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline (ML)

The BLUES (-200) come into the day on a four-game winning streak. They’re 17-4-3 at home for the season and 7-2-1 across their last 10 games. The Flyers (+165) topped the Boston Bruins 6-5 in a shootout Monday. They’re 4-5-1 across their last 10 games but are just 9-13-2 on the road for the season.

The Flyers have slight advantages in both Corsi (percentage of total shot attempts) and scoring chances, but Binnington gets a significant edge over Elliott. Back the hosts.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Each of the Blues’ last three victories – all at home – were decided by margins of at least 2 goals. Back ST. LOUIS (-1.5, +140) to win by at least 2 once again Wednesday.

The Flyers are 25-21 against the spread overall but just 10-14 on the road. The Blues are 24-23 ATS overall and 11-13 at home. Five of the Blues’ last seven home wins were by at least 2 goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the OVER 5.5 (-139) with Elliott in net for the Flyers as opposed to starter Carter Hart. The Blues are 5-5 against the total across their last 10 games, while the Flyers are 6-3-1 across their last 10.
