The set-up: The 25-22-2 St; Louis Blues and the 26-20-7 Philadelphia Flyers meet tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The Blues lost 4-1 at home to the Penguins, leaving them two points behind the Flames for the second wild card in the West. The Flyers have earned at least one point in five of their last six games (4-1-1) and have two more points than the Maple Leafs, as they cling to the East's second wild-card spot.

St; Louis: The Blues will begin a five-game road trip here in Philly but are just 8-13-1 on the road this season. However, after losing five of their last six on home ice, maybe getting away from home is not all that bad. The Blues are 1-1 since firing head coach of Ken Hitchcock on Feb. 1 and enter this contest having lost six of their last eight games overall, while scoring only 15 goals (that's 1.88 per game!).

Philadelphia: The Flyers are 16-7-4 on home ice this season and come in 11-2-2 in their last 15 home contests overall. Philadelphia has allowed just one goal in each of its last three contests, including including Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to Los Angeles that leaves the club 1-0-1 on its current five-game homestand. With Blues coming to Philly, it's worth noting that the Flyers are 7-0-2 in their last nine games against visitors from the West.

The pick: Michal Neuvirth has been in goal for the last three games (2-0-1) and has allowed one goal in each of those three starts. He could be on the verge of replacing Steve Mason as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder and is expected to play here. With the Blues really struggling to score (1.88 GPG their last eight games), the Under is a 10* play.
