Headline: Sharks Try to Stop the Bleeding \u2013 Pay Visit to St Louis Tuesday Night<\/strong><\/p>\n The St. Louis Blues return home on Tuesday night after a very productive road trip in which they went 3-0. Their opponent Tuesday \u2013 the San Jose Sharks who have yet to win in the month of February and are mired in their longest winless streak since 2005. <\/p>\n San Jose Sharks (7-4-1-2) at St. Louis Blues (9-5-0-1)<\/strong> Matchup<\/a> | Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out our in-house NHL Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s NHL Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Blues are coming off an impressive win in Vancouver Sunday night while the Sharks lost to the Blackhawks on Friday.<\/p>\n The Sharks are officially in one of the biggest funks of any team in the NHL \u2013 the goal scoring has completely dried up and the superstars don\u2019t look anything like the best players on the ice.<\/p>\n The Sharks offense has scored just 12 goals in their last nine scoring more than two goals only once during the winless streak while being shut out twice. The power play is just 2 for its last 39 and the duo of Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton have combined for just two points in the last eight games. Yikes!<\/p>\n At least San Jose has been getting some solid goaltending. Antti Niemi has been very good. He has allowed just five goals in his past three appearances and has a nice 1.94 GAA and .930 save percentage in 11 games this season. But if your team doesn\u2019t score, you ain\u2019t gonna win!<\/p>\n Things are good in St. Louis \u2013 that\u2019s for sure. Jaroslav Halak was out with injury and Brian Elliot continued his season long struggles \u2013 enter rookie Jake Allen who posted a 2.58 GAA in winning all three games on the Blues’ road trip, capped by a 28-save performance Sunday in a 4-3 shootout win over Vancouver.<\/p>\n He may get his first home start on Tuesday even though Halak is slated to come off IR.<\/p>\n Offensively the Blues have been surprisingly good in averaging 3.33 goals per game this season. There are 10 Blues with 10+ points this season in 15 games \u2013 very good balance for a team that was supposed to struggle scoring goals. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Blues winger Alexander Steen has four goals and eight points over the past five games and Patrik Berglund is riding his second three-game goal-scoring streak of the season and leads the club with eight tallies. But they aren’t the only Blues to keep an eye on!<\/p>\n A few trends to consider:<\/p>\n \u2022 SJ are 3-14 in their last 17 vs. Central. The San Jose Sharks \u201cenjoyed\u201d three days off after their latest loss and my guess is that the rest will have done them some good. The Sharks are too good to have a slump like the one they are embroiled in.<\/p>\n I like the Sharks to win their first game in February Tuesday night against a Blues team off a three game road trip and one that will be looking forward to another matchup on Wednesday night against Colorado.<\/p>\n The Blues are due for a letdown and the Sharks are due for an up-tick \u2013 they are good value at +138!<\/p>\n Pick<\/strong>: San Jose Sharks +138<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sharks vs Blues NHL Spread\/Handicapping Headline: Sharks Try to Stop the Bleeding \u2013 Pay Visit to St Louis Tuesday Night The St. Louis Blues return home on Tuesday night after a very productive road trip in which they went 3-0.
