The set-up: Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, including in the Blues 3-2 win here in OT two nights ago. St. Louis sits atop the West Division now and I expect it to get at least three goals this time around as well. San Jose is allowing 3.53 GPG, but its 2.40 GPG average isn't going to cut it obviously.

The pick: I'll point out though that the Sharks have seen the total go "over" the number in seven of their last nine road games when trying to revenge a one goal road loss vs. an opponent. THis number is low, expect it to eclipse sooner, rather than later.

This is a 10* TOTAL COACH'S CORNER on the OVER Sharks/Blues.
