Chicago Blackhawks at St Louis Blues Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to win as a betting underdog in St Louis.

The Blackhawks already boast one impressive win over the Blues this season, and the home team’s recent form suggests we could see a repeat here. 

  • Chicago Blackhawks beat St Louis Blues by 5 goals on October 15
  • St Louis Blues are 4-9 in their previous 13 home games
  • St Louis Blues have allowed 12 goals over their last 2 games
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of the previous 6 meetings

Head To Head

  • Chicago Blackhawks lead the all-time series 171-160-47
  • Chicago Blackhawks won 8-3 when the two teams last met on October 15

Chicago Blackhawks Form

Chicago head to St Louis on the back of a defeat, but in poor form with eight defeats in their last 11 games.

The Blackhawks’ rough run began in late November with a 3-2 defeat at home to Seattle, which was followed by a 9-3 loss in Buffalo.

They then returned home to lose 1-0 to Colorado, 4-3 to Minnesota and 4-3 to Nashville, before finally stopping the rot with a 5-3 victory over Anaheim.

Chicago failed to follow that up as they lost 4-3 in Vegas, and they then failed to back up a 2-1 success in Los Angeles as they lost the second half of that double-header, 6-0.

The Blackhawks wrapped up that road trip with a 7-1 blowout loss in Anaheim, but they did enjoy a winning homecoming this week as they took down the New York Rangers 3-0.

St Louis Blues Form

St Louis have been on a rollercoaster run of form over the past several weeks, losing six of their previous 10 games.

The Blues began this sequence with back-to-back road defeats, as they fell 3-2 at the New York Rangers and 3-2 in New Jersey.

They rallied at home to beat Ottawa 4-3 and Utah 1-0, but they failed to keep that winning run going as they were beaten 4-1 by Anaheim and 5-2 at Boston.

St Louis again avoided a three-game skid as they won 2-1 in Ottawa, and that was followed by a 4-3 victory in Montreal.

The Blues went cold after that though, as they lost 5-2 to Boston before heading back out on the road to lose 7-2 in Nashville.

Verdict

St Louis have given up a bunch of goals over the past couple of games and now face a Chicago team that hit for eight on the home ice earlier this season.

The recipe is there for an upset here, so we are taking the Blackhawks and the plus-money.
