Wednesday's Game 7
St. Louis Blues (+150) at Boston Bruins (-165)
Game 7 puck line odds: Blues +1.5 (-200), Bruins -1.5 (+175)
Game 7 over/under: 5.5 goals
Wyshynski: I've been steadfast in my belief that this is how it has to play out for the Blues win in the Stanley Cup -- after a loss, a situation in which Jordan Binnington is 7-2 with a 1.86 goals-against average in the playoffs, and on the road, where the St. Louis Blues are 9-3 in the playoffs and average 2.40 goals-against, the same as the Bruins do at home. Their two blowout losses in critical games happened because they were at home, things went sideways in the first dozen minutes and they lost the crowd and then their wits. Their two wins in Boston happened because they played well on the forecheck, didn't make fundamental mistakes with the puck and kept the scored low. So, to that end, I'll take the Blues to beat the Bruins (+150) on the moneyline and the game to go under 5.5 goals (-160).
Pick: Blues and the under
