This should be a very evenly matched series. Both teams aren’t going to give up without a fight, so expect a long series. It should be interesting to see who wins this game, as home-ice advantage might not exist when you’re playing these Blues. Though San Jose is 6-2 at home this postseason, St. Louis has a 5-1 record away from home.
