The Blues entered the postseason in top form, but this matchup simply doesn't suit them very well. Connor Hellebuyck is the best in the business and he's been nearly unbeatable at home this season (28-3-3). I don't love this price, but as Game 1 showed, these teams are on completely different levels.

An ill-advised cross-check by Zach Bolduc while the Blues were on a power play early in the 3rd period on Saturday turned around momentum in a game St. Louis seemed in control, instead igniting a Winnipeg surge featuring two goals in the last 1:36, including Adam Lowry's empty-netter, to win 5-3. Yet the Blues have to be convinced they have a real chance here as they did enough solving of Connor Hellebuyck while having the Jets on the ropes, and looking every bit like the team with the NHL's best record since the 4 Nations. Jordan Binnington isn't likely to lose confidence in goal, and we'll look at the NHL version of the zig-zag in Game 2. Play Blues on Money Line

Jets goalie and Vezina Trophy lock Connor Hellebuyck didn't play all that well in Game 1, but the Jets won 5-3 anyways, and I'd expect the American to be much better in Game 2 on Monday. He's now 28-3-3 at home this season. Winnipeg is 4-1 vs. St. Louis on the year. The Blues have lost four straight road games. Jordan Binnington's road splits are a fair amount worse than at home.
