Stephen Nover's NHL Thursday Underdog Special
(NHL) Washington vs. St. Louis, 01/19/2017 3:00 PM, Score: 7 - 3
Money Line: 120.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
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.
