The St. Louis Blues head to Canada Life Centre on Sunday afternoon for a matchup between two teams trying to squeeze more out of uneven seasons. St. Louis comes in at 27-29-10, while Winnipeg is 27-28-10, so there is not much separating these teams in the standings or in the market. Puck drop is set for 3:00 PM on NHLN. This number is tight for a reason. Winnipeg gets home ice and has the better goaltending foundation, which matters in games like this. The Blues, though, are playing better lately and have shown more short-term fight, especially in one-goal games. That makes this less about overall record and more about which team can control the pace and create the cleaner

The San Jose Sharks head to Ottawa on Sunday afternoon for a matchup between two teams that have been playing meaningful hockey lately. San Jose enters at 32-26-6 and has won two straight, while Ottawa sits at 33-23-9 and continues to look like the more balanced team in this matchup.

Montreal is favored, but not by an overwhelming amount, and that reflects the fact Anaheim still has enough offensive talent to stay dangerous. At the same time, the Canadiens bring the steadier overall profile into this game, especially at home, where their structure and shot suppression tend to

Toronto heads to Minnesota on Sunday night for a matchup between two teams moving in very different directions. The Maple Leafs come in at 28-28-12, well outside the profile of a true contender, while the Wild sit at 38-18-12 and are still battling near the top of the Central Division.

The Wild have been the more reliable team at both ends, and they bring a much sturdier defensive base into this game. Toronto still has enough skill to make life uncomfortable for stretches, but this is a difficult road spot
