My NHL Plays -- Nov 13th

[Tinfish]

I am taking these paid for picks:

St Louis & New York Isles

Reasoning:

St Louis - 0.5 at San Jose for 3 units

Blues are 8-2 in last 10 meetings between these 2
Blues are 6-1 ATS in their last 8 games
SJ is 0-3 at home this year
Blues are 4-2 on the road
SJ is 26th in team defense so the Blues should have no problem scoring

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NYI - 0.5 at home against Montreal for 5 units

NYI are 6-2 ATS at home
NYI are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games
Montreal is 3-7 ATS in their last 10
NYI are #4 in the NHL in team offense

I like St. Louis play, but the Isles play is risky. Montreal can frustrate teams like the Isles when they are on their game defensively. I was looking at this game the other day, and couldn't justify laying the half-goal in a game that could very well end up a tie.
