Individually, Marchand has a very nice matchup to keep his shooting success going. The Blues rank 25th in 5on-5 shot suppression over the last 10 games. They're also a subpar penalty-killing team. Oh, and only seven teams have allowed more shots per game to wingers this season.

The Boston Bruins start their road trip as they face the St. Louis Blues. It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Bruins-Blues prediction and pick. The Bruins enter the game sitting at 7-7-2 on the year and have won three of their last five games.

The NHL is back in action with a seven-game slate tonight, and if you’re looking to get some skin in the game, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are my three favorite bets on the ice tonight.
