The St. Louis Blues will face the Carolina Hurricanes in a battle of mismatched teams at 7 p.m. EST on Thursday. The Blues have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NHL this year, posting a 25-29-10 mark a year after making the postseason. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have put together another excellent season, going 41-17-6 and priming themselves for a deep playoff run when the postseason rolls around in a month.
Despite its horrendous overall record, St. Louis has actually played solid hockey lately, rattling off four wins in a row before losing to the New York Islanders in overtime last time out. The offense was a pleasant surprise in that stretch, scoring three or more goals in every single outing. Right wing Jimmy Snuggerad has poured in two goals and three assists in the last two games alone, providing the Blues with a much-needed offensive spark that they will hope to carry over into one of their toughest matchups of the season.
Speaking of good offensive play, the Hurricanes have looked nearly unstoppable on the ice in the last couple of weeks, scoring four or more goals in six of their last seven games. As one might expect, those ridiculous scoring numbers led to a 5-2 record in that span, including victories over the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Both of those teams are potential postseason opponents, making the victories even more meaningful. A relatively easy matchup against the Blues should allow Carolina to get another win streak going before it faces yet another playoff team in the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Blues vs Hurricanes Prediction and Pick
Taking the Blues to cover would not be the worst bet in the world, but the most appealing line is in the total goals category. The Hurricanes have been one of the best offensive teams in the NHL lately and should continue their assault on opposing goals against a mediocre St. Louis defense. The Blues have also been capable offensively lately, so they should be able to hold up their end of the deal by contributing a handful of goals. The Hurricanes will do the majority of the heavy lifting en route to cashing the over.
