Pick The Winner (10/12)

And now from the home office…Pick The Winner.

Good luck.

2 UNIT = New York Rangers @ St Louis Blues – BLUES -1.5 [Puck Line] (+155)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 3.10 units)

Another fade of the New York Rangers here, as we take the Blues to win by 2 or more at home. The Rangers start the season off with a 9 game road trip, and it hasn't been pretty for them. They are 1-3 on the year with their latest two losses being 6-0 and 9-2 against Anaheim and San Jose. They now face one of the toughest teams to beat at home in St Louis who are 3-0 to start the season, and who went 15-8-1 at home last year. This will be St Louis' fourth straight home game to open the season and so far we've seen a 4-2 victory over Nashville, 7-0 over Florida, and 3-2 over the defending Stanley Cup Champs Blackhawks.

The Rangers will change things up in net going with Martin Biron who has a 9.78 GAA and .762 SV% when he's entered in relief. Jaroslav Halak is probable for St Louis and he already has a stellar 1.34 GAA and .948 SV% to go along with his 3-0 record. The Blues are 31-11 in their last 42 vs a Eastern Confernece opponents, 52-23 in their last 75 home games, and 18-8 in their last 26 vs a team with a winnig % below .400. This Rangers team has a lot to figure out, and they won't do it tonight in St Louis. Take the Blues on the puck line.

My steal pick is Vancouver over Montreal. More picks available on Twitter and they are all free. Good luck.
