The set-up: St. Louis will be eager to return to form after a 4-1 loss to Dallas on Saturday. The Blues have had a couple nights off to prepare for this one and to get back on track after losing three of their last four. The putrid Ducks earned a 2-1 win over Colorado on Sunday to end a five-game slide, but an immediate return to mediocrity seems imminent.

The pick: Despite their recent scuffling form, the Blues come in confident by winning seven of their last ten away from friendly confines. The Ducks can't say the same thing though as they're just 3-10 in their last 13 in front of the home town crowd. I'm laying the price and expecting a complete blowout from the "better" and "hungrier" team.
