The Blues are tough at home and 5-1 off a loss.

The Capitals just had their nine-game win streak snapped in a wild 8-7 overtime loss to the Penguins on Monday. It's going to be hard for the Capitals to generate enthusiasm for this matchup. I see this as a flat spot for Washington.

St. Louis has a strong history hosting Washington winning nine of the past 12 times at home.

Jake Allen will be back in goal for the Blues and I'm expecting a big performance from him.
