Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Columbus at St. Louis (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 5.5 -140 (risk 3 to win 2.1)

The Columbus Blue Jackets have been involved with six shutouts, either for or against in their last 27 games. The St. Louis Blues have only allowed 24 goals in their last 12 home games or just two per game. It certainly sets up as a game that looks like a hard fought, tight checking struggle. The Blues are off a five-game road trip, and the last seven times they have come home off a road trip of a week or more, all seven games finished under the total. They have also played nine of their last 12 to the UNDER after giving up two goals or less in their previous game. I'm going UNDER here.

The Dallas Stars have emerged from a seven-game losing streak to win three of five, but more importantly two of three on the road. Anaheim hasn't exactly been a force at home, as the Ducks have struggled on home ice coming away with the win in just four of their last 11. Are the Stars out tonight? They have been for Dallas in their last five trips into Anaheim, where they have taken the Ducks down four times in the five games. I'm going with a shocking dog here to take another win against the home-struggling Ducks.

Results: 1-1
