Blues vs Jets Best Picks and Prediction
The Blues are unbeaten so far this season and should dominate the Jets in all three zones.
Vladimir Tarasenko, Brayden Schenn, and the rest of the forward group should carry the puck into the offensive zone and create open shots with great passes near the net. Torey Krug and Justin Faulk could generate shots on goal from the point for the Blues, who average 3.67 goals per game.
Meanwhile, Krug and Faulk should enable the Blues to limit the Jets' offense by forcing turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shot attempts. Jordan Binnington will likely to the occasion and make crucial saves.
