The Chicago Blackhawks are coming off a 3-2 loss at Nashville as they're travelling to St. Louis to take on the Blues. The home team has struggled offensively lately scoring only one goal over their last two games, but I expect to see some fireworks tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Offense - The Blues have not been able to score much on 5-v-5, but their power play has been quite effective finding the net seven times for a 28% efficiency. They finished the 2013-2014 season ranked seventh in the league with 2.92 goals per game though, and it should only be a matter of time before they start scoring as they fire away almost 34 shots per game. The Blackhawks are testing their opponents goalie even more often, averaging 39 shots per game while also scoring a decent amount with 18 goals over six games.

2. Recent History - None of the last four meetings in St. Louis have gone under the total, and the over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings overall.

3. X-factor - The Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews was held point-less at Nashville on Thursday. Expect him to get on the scoresheet tonight though as he has 35 points in his last 30 games against the Blues.

Selection: This is a play on CHI@STL to go over the total (10*)
