The St. Louis Blues and Vegas Golden Knights meet Saturday in NHL action at the T-Mobile Arena. The St. Louis Blues need a win after losing 8 of they last 9 games. The Vegas Golden Knights look to build on their 9-game winning streak.

Vladimir Tarasenko leads St. Louis with 4 goals, Justin Faulk has 8 assists, and Jordan Kyrou has 41 shots on goal.

The over is 4-1-2 in Blues last 7 overall. The over is 4-0 in Golden Knights last 4 overall. The Blues are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in Vegas and 4-10 in the last 14 meetings. The favorite is 15-5 in the last 20 meetings.

The St. Louis Blues are going nowhere fast at either end of the ice and even with plus money, I’m not looking to get behind them at all. The Vegas Golden Knights continue to flex their muscle as the best team in the league, and they’re playing elite hockey on both sides. I’m not looking to step in front of the Golden Knights, especially at home. I’ll lay the PL for max betting value here.
