This is a 10* TOTAL U OF THE U on the UNDER Blues/Panthers.

I'm expecting a defensive affair between these teams tonight.

St. Louis is 10-10-0-0 after a 5-2 loss at Tampa last time out. Note though that the Blues have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eigth after a three goals or greater loss in their last outing.

Florida is just 10-8-1-1. It's coming off 5-2 home win over Boston. The Panthers have now seen the total go OVER the number in five straight, which is significant to note in this case as the Panthers have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row..

The overall situation combined with these trends makes the UNDER the correct call in this one.

Good luck, NP
