Jordan Binnington (7-2-2, 2.50 GAA, .916 SV%) at Darcy Kuemper (4-6-1, 2.46 GAA, .913 SV%)
Binnington has faced the Coyotes four times already this season. The fourth outing was his best as he allowed just one goal on 25 shots in a 4-1 victory Friday night in Arizona. The win improved Binnington to 2-1-1 with a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in his four starts vs. the Coyotes.

Blues at Coyotes: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Blues 4, Coyotes 3
Money line (ML)
The BLUES (-125) are a good play against the Coyotes in what will be the seventh meeting of the season already between these two clubs. They split the first six meetings with one game decided in overtime and one in a shootout. St. Louis has edged Arizona 20-19 in the six previous outings.
St. Louis has also racked up five straight wins on the road, while Arizona is 1-4 in its past five at home. The Blues have won 23 of the past 34 in the series and they’re 12-3 in their past 15 trips to Arizona.

Against the spread (ATS)
Backing the Blues -1.5 (+220) vs. the Coyotes is risky based on the previous six outings as four of the games were decided by one goal. As such, the Blues are not a good play, and going with the Coyotes +1.5 (-275) is just too expensive. AVOID.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 5.5 (+100) is a great play. Four of the six head-to-head tilts this season hit the Over with an average 6.5 goals per game. So, playing the Over at even money is a prudent move.
The Blues are 8-3 Over in the past 11 overall and 12-4-1 in the past 17.
