This is an 8* on ST. LOUIS



The Blues continue to lead the Central Division, but that advantage is now down to three points over the hard-charging Colorado Avalanche, who (not coincidentally) have a much better goal differential compared to the reigning Stanley Cup Champs. St. Louis has lost two straight games and both were at home to division foes. But tonight's game sees them taking on a vastly inferior foe that they should easily dominate. Anaheim did win Monday, but that was against Buffalo. The Ducks still have a lot of work to do seeing as they are third from the bottom in the Pacific with a lot of ground to make up if they want to make the playoffs. The Blues have won their last three visits here and beat the Ducks 4-1 at home last month. Play on ST LOUIS
