I'm playing on San Jose / St. Louis UNDER the total. After three straight high-scoring games, expect defense/goaltending to steal center stage on Friday. Its rare that every game of a playoff series finishes above the total; note that the UNDER is 15-8 the past 23 times that the Blues had seen their previous three games finish above the total. During the same span, the UNDER is also 16-10-3 when the Sharks were off three or more consecutive 'overs.' The Sharks also saw their first three games in the Colorado series finish above the total. However, Game 4 (and Game 5) was much lower-scoring, only three combined goals. The Blues have seen the UNDER go 3-1-2 the past six times that they were trailing in a series. Expect those stats to improve here.
