Blues Fly South
The St. Louis Blues begin a two-game Sunshine State road trip tonight against the Florida Panthers.
The Blues have this game and then another one on Monday at Tampa Bay before heading home for Christmas.
Blues Can’t Score
The Blues’ goal-scoring struggles refuse to go away. They lost 2-1 in overtime last night to the Rangers, marking the 15th time in the last 18 games that St. Louis has scored 2 goals or fewer.
If you’re looking for a live betting opportunity, look to fade the Blues if this game heads to overtime. After last night’s loss, they are now 0-8 in OT this season.
Panthers Surging
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers have found their groove after a slow start to the season. After going 12-12-2 to start the year, Florida has now won seven of its last eight and four in a row.
The Panthers are scoring goals in bunches right now. They have lit the lamp 33 times during this eight-game spurt (4.13 goals per game)
My Pick
This pick is simple for me. I don’t think the Blues can score enough to keep up.
Continue to utilize profit boosts on DraftKings when you have the chance, and DraftKings is offering a 50% profit boost on tonight’s matchup. That means instead of taking the Panthers at -175 on the moneyline, you can boost them up to a fantastic price of -117. With legal sports gambling now live in Missouri, these are the types of opportunities you need to be on the hunt for in order to maximize your profitability long-term.
If the Blues can beat the back-to-back champs on the road, I’ll take the loss and tip my cap. But the Panthers are on the prowl right now, and I don’t want to stand in the way of them.
Pick: Utilize 50% profit boost on DraftKings and bet Panthers on the moneyline at -117 (bet to boosted price of -130)
