This is Game 7 of this series and I see the more physical Blues having worn down the Stars, who still remain without key scoring weapon Tyler Seguin.

St. Louis is the stronger defensive club with the superior goaltending. Brian Elliott got his bad game out of the way in Game 6. He'll come back strong here.

I'm not worried about Dallas having home ice. It just helps make this betting line more attractive. The Blues gained a huge amount of confidence by knocking off defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago during their last round.

The Blues have won 19 of their last 26 road contests and have had success against the Stars beating them seven of 11 times this season. This includes a 4-1 victory at Dallas this past Saturday in Game 5. The visitor has won the past three in the series. St. Louis has won six of its last eight in Dallas.

The Stars are 1-4 following a victory. I see the pressure getting to the Stars more than the Blues here.
