Good spot to back the Blues who have had plenty of time to rest and prepare for this game since a shootout win at Vegas on Jan 26.

The Blues have struggled on the defensive end in the early goings of the season, but note that a good portion of the goals (11 of 26) have been conceded while shorthanded. On 5v5, the Blues have been one of the best teams in the league on both ends of the ice and they average a solid 3.0 gpg despite converting on only 9% of their power play opportunities.

The Ducks' have scored only 14 goals in eight games overall and their power play is the worst in the league at 5.6%. I don't see the Ducks keeping pace with a well-rested Blues team.

8* play on St. Louis Blues.
