The Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues tend to play low-event games against one another.

With both teams playing at a snail’s pace, my Blues vs. Stars predictions expect more of the same tonight.

Let’s break down my NHL picks for Wednesday, February 4.

Blues vs Stars prediction

Blues vs Stars best bet: Under 5.5 (+110)

The Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues have played each other three times this season, and 16 total goals were scored in those games (5.33 per), and two stayed Under the number.

It’s not just the lack of goals that stands out, but the process that has led to it. Their games featured an average — yes, average — of 44 total shots on goal. The highest output we’ve seen was 50, and the Blues won the battle 26-24.

A lack of shots is not a coincidence. The Blues rank 27th in 5-on-5 pace this season, while the Stars come in at 31st. Both teams play painfully slowly and are methodical with and without the puck.

The Stars rank fourth in goals against per game and control matchups on home ice, making it difficult for the Blues, who sit 30th in scoring, to find the net.

While the Blues have struggled to keep the puck out, they actually rank Top 6 in 5-on-5 shot suppression and expected goals against over their last 10 games.

It won’t be easy for the Stars, who sit 28th in 5-on-5 scoring rate during that span, to create looks.

Expect another low-event matchup between these Central Division foes.

Blues vs Stars same-game parlay

Miro Heiskanen has averaged 2.4 shots on goal and cleared this line in 76% of his home games. That includes a multi-shot performance against the Blues in the only meeting in Dallas thus far.

Going the other way, Jimmy Snuggerud has ramped up his shot volume, averaging 2.7 shots on 5.9 attempts over his last 10, well above season averages of 2.1 shots and 4.7 attempts. He’s taking on a bigger role with so many key players sidelined.
