The St. Louis Blues will wrap up their trip to Florida with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday at Benchmark International Arena.

The Blues will be in high spirits after defeating the Florida Panthers 6-2 on Saturday. Joel Hofer had a great night in goal, stopping 27 of 29 shots, and the team enjoyed its best offensive outing of the season. Five players finished with multiple points, including newly acquired Jonatan Berggren.

Jim Montgomery’s squad has gone 3-1-1 over the last five games, bringing some Christmas cheer to fans during a difficult campaign. On Monday, St. Louis will attempt to win a second consecutive game for only the fourth time this season.

Tampa Bay has finished 2-2-1 over its last five outings, struggling to put a run of good results together after suffering several injury blows. While the injury situation has begun to improve, the team will likely be without two key players on Monday. Victor Hedman will be missing from defense, while the frontline won’t have the services of Brandon Hagel.

Hedman’s absence is the bigger blow for the Lightning, as they have allowed 18 goals in five games since he exited the lineup due to an elbow injury.

Our St. Louis Blues vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction

Things clicked well for St. Louis offensively against Florida, and the team will fancy its chances against a shaky Lightning defense on Monday. Jon Cooper’s men seem to have trouble coping with the loss of Hedman and could once again have to rely on their offense to get the W, as they did on Saturday in a 6-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.

While the Blues average the second-fewest goals in the league (2.54), their road games have resulted in many back-and-forth affairs lately. Four of St. Louis' last five away games have featured at least seven goals.

Our prediction for St. Louis Blues vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Over 5.5 goals.
