The Ducks will head to the Midwest to face the St. Louis Blues, who have faltered a bit to begin the year and sit near the bottom of the Central Division at 9-10-7.

Ducks vs. Blues preview

All eyes will be on Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier for the Ducks, and with good reason. Carlsson has 13 goals and 21 assists to start the season while Gauthier isn’t far behind with 15 goals and 15 assists. Troy Terry has also been involved in a lot of the team’s offensive success with 22 assists. The only issue so far has been in goal, with Lukas Dostal ranking 28th in average goals allowed per game. St. Louis has also experienced goaltender issues with Jordan Binnington ranking 40th in GAA. Backup Joel Hofer has been worse and it’s led to the Blues having a -23 point differential, which is the second-worst mark in the Western Conference.

The Blues are -152 money line favorites in the latest SportsLine consensus odds while the Ducks are +128 underdogs. The total comes in at 6.5 with the Over priced at +108 and the Under at -129. For the latest Ducks vs. Blues odds, visit the SportsLine Projection Model.
