The St. Louis Blues open their Stanley Cup defense later this week as the 2019-20 National Hockey League regular season gets underway. There are many questions to answer going in — the Boston Bruins pushed St. Louis to seven games before falling in the Stanley Cup Finals and have basically brought their whole core back. However, several of their key players are well into their 30s now. That means they might have veteran leadership to avoid Cup hangover; but they also might be more fragile. Can they make it out of the Eastern Conference again? Florida has brought in Joel Quenneville (with three Stanley Cups, all in Chicago) as their head coach — can he put together a solid defense in front of Sergei Bobrovsky? These are just two questions that are in hockey fans’ minds. If you are planning on including the first week of the campaign in your NHL betting, don’t miss our primo picks.
