St. Louis Blues @ Pittsburgh Penguins Preview

The St. Louis Blues (31-27-7) are coming off a strong stretch, going 7-1-2 in their last 10 games, and are just one point out of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. They have been playing with a sense of urgency, treating every game as a playoff scenario. The Blues have a balanced attack led by Dylan Holloway (20 goals, 27 assists) and Robert Thomas (5 goals, 7 assists in the last 10 games). However, they are dealing with injuries, including Colton Parayko (knee), which could impact their defensive depth.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (26-31-10) are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite their struggles this season, the Penguins have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly when they score three or more goals (24-6-5 record in such games). Bryan Rust (21 goals, 25 assists) and Sidney Crosby (6 goals, 6 assists in the last 10 games) continue to lead the charge offensively. However, the Penguins have struggled defensively, allowing 3.67 goals per game, which ranks 31st in the league.

Top Player Prop Picks

Dylan Holloway Over 0.5 Points

widget-props-nhl-5411-2084951

Holloway has been consistent, with 4 goals and 3 assists in his last 7 games. He is a key part of the Blues' second-line offense and should have opportunities to contribute against a Penguins defense that has struggled all season.

Sidney Crosby Over 2.5 Shots on Goal

widget-props-nhl-5411-2084911

Crosby has been a focal point of the Penguins' offense, averaging 3.9 shots on goal over his last 10 games. With the Penguins needing a strong performance, expect Crosby to be heavily involved.

Jordan Binnington Over 27.5 Saves

Binnington has been solid in net for the Blues, and with the Penguins averaging 30.15 shots per game, he should have plenty of opportunities to rack up saves. His recent form, including 6 wins in his last 7 starts, makes this a strong play.
