Two long time rivals the Chicago Blackhawks(25-11-8) and the St.Louis Blues(18-23-4) go head to head tonight , in 4th meeting between these teams this season. The 3 previous games have all gone to over time , with the Blues winning 2 of those tilts.

This past Saturday the Hawks got their first win in this series with a 2-1 extra framer in St.Louis. Turning the trick twice in row, even on their own home ice will not come easily.

The Blues won in their last trip to the United Center, and look like viable bets again tonight, after an impressive 5-4 OT victory vs the Boston Bruins on Monday. The Blackhawks after a nice run, have looked a little ragged in their last trip to the ice, suffering a loss to the Minnesota Wild by a 4-1 count. A worrying trend of late has seen Chicago’s young star Patrick Kane score just 1 point in his last 10 contests. Slumps like this have a way of working their way through the lineup which is not a good omen going forward for the Hawks team trying to bust out of a two game home losing streak.

Considering both these sides current form, and the Blues ability to matchup well against their opponents under any venue, make for what I am betting is a viable- value based underdog wager.

Final notes & Key Trends: The Blues are 8-3 L/11 vs Central division teams. The Hawks lost 0-4 L/4 playing on just 1 days rest. Chicago has lost 9 of their L/13 vs Central Division teams.
