On Saturday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the St. Louis Blues in Game 6 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. The Blackhawks staved off elimination in St. Louis on Thursday, winning Game 5 in double overtime, 4-3, as Patrick Kane tallied the game winning goal at 3:07 of the second extra frame.

Why Should You Bet on St. Louis?

These are not the usual playoff Blues, known for slipping out of the postseason in the first round. Every time the Blackhawks have landed a punch, the Blues have responded. Brian Elliott has played a terrific series in goal for the Blues, and it’s hard to suggest ever beating against him. This is a team without a star that plays hard, with defense first, in the philosophical mold of their coach, Ken Hitchcock. With this game going back to Chicago, St. Louis now has two chances to head to the conference semifinals.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Blackhawks?

For the first time in these playoffs, Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford stood on his head and stoned the Blues when it counted. He stopped 43 shots from the Blues — including 11 in that first overtime period. That didn’t keep the Blackhawks from blowing yet another third-period lead (this time two goals), but Crawford was good enough to foil the Blues and keep the game going. A sign of just how frustrating this series has been for Chicago fans came when Marian Hossa tallied a shorthanded goal in the second period, and then the Blues came along and converted the power play anyway.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like Chicago to follow up their big OT win with a Game 6 win and send the whole series back for a seventh game in St. Louis. I’m predicting a 5-4 Blackhawk victory.
