Shane’s Free Pick
The Blues offense was good in the last game, but they are still averaging only 2.0 goals per game. The Blues defense is giving up 2.5 goals per game and they are also going to step up in a big way here. The Jets defense hasn’t been great, but the Blues lack of offense is going to help improve those numbers. Look for this game to be lower scoring and the under is going to cash here.
