GameThread for St. Louis Blues at Dallas Stars, Oct 28, 2014

I know, the Blues aren't exactly goal scoring machines. The Stars, luckily, aren't exactly goal preventing machines either. So far this season they allow, on average, three and a half goals a game - and yet still have managed a 4-2-2 record. How is that? Their top line is insane. Jamie Benn, Jason Spezza, and Tyler Seguin are scoring at a ridiculousclip. Through the first eight games, they have a combined 34 points. They are also a -5 as a group.

So, you know, great defense.

Brian Elliott has been supplying that for the Blues this season in spades. He's 2-2-1, but with a 1.78 GAA, and he's undefeated in his last three starts against the Dallas Stars. His GAA against them? 1.30. The Blues stand a good chance to continue their bounce back. Kari Lehtonen will be in net tonight, so they're not dealing with Anders Lindback. The team will have to work, but there're still good odds in their favor.

Here's a boost to those odds. Place your bets accordingly.
