NHL Saturday -- Dietel on Bruins v Blues Game 3

Craig Dietel

Bruins (+100) at Blues (-120)
Pick: Blues (-120)

In Game 2, we saw the Blues break the Bruins eight-game playoff winning streak. They should manage to carry this momentum into Game 3 at home and give the St. Louis fans a lot to cheer about. If may all come down to Blues goalie Jordan Binnington. If he can manage to keep Boston a goal or two, the Blues should be in good shape.

It is worth noting that the Blues will be without F Oskar Soundqvist, due to his one-game suspension for his hit on Bruins D Mark Grzelcyk on Wednesday. Sundqvist is, by no means, a make or break player for them but you never want a roster player suspended because it can throw off line chemistry. It should be only a minor setback and the Blues take this one at home.
