ST LOUIS VS CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
Chicago is completely out of the picture. Already now, after a 1-3 loss to LA Kings, they are mathematically out of the playoff race.
There are still thirteen games left in the regular season... That shows how bad the Blackhawks have been/are this season. They come into this game with six straight losses. Confirmed starter in goal: Arvid Söderblom. They've won 27 percent of the games with him in net.
Highly motivated, with their teeth showing. One of a handful of teams fighting for the last playoff spots/wildcards. They've won the two previous matchups this season against Chicago and should be seen as top favorites again.
They’ve won 66 percent of their home games when facing teams that have won fewer than 45 percent of their games (overall). "Family is the toughest," as they say... Nick Leddy was part of the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup win in 2013, but now he’s committed to helping the Blues reach the playoffs.
A fun longshot at 9.00!
