Vegas has a goaltending problem on its hands as Marc-Andre Fleury has been placed in the NHL's protocols for COVID-19, so he's not playing here. Co-No. 1 Robin Lehner hasn't played in the NHL since Feb. 7th due to an upper-body injury.
Maybe he's called up from the AHL for this one, but more likely it's either Oscar Dansk or rookie Logan Thompson. Thus, I like the STL Blues' chances here at home -- plus Vegas is without top defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. Vegas is 1-4 in its past five in St. Louis and we'll back the BLUES on Friday night.
