Blues, Stars meet in Game 7
The Stars and Blues will meet in a decisive Game 7 on Wednesday from American Airlines Center in Texas. Dallas stayed alive on Monday by capturing a 3-2 victory at St. Louis, cashing as a plus-145 underdog.
Including that result, the visitor has won four of the first six games in this best-of-seven matchup.
Oddsmakers opened Dallas as a minus-120 favorite while St. Louis is a plus-110 underdog. The total on this game is sitting at 5 and shaded to the ‘over’ (-140).
Road teams have gone 34-35 in this year’s NHL playoffs and visitors have fared very well historically in the Stanley Cup postseason.
