Close one, I'll say the Blues.

Dallas has too many RHD on it's top pairing, and that's extremely bad. Also, a 2nd line with a serviceable but slow-footed #2C flanked by a pair of unproven mediocre 2/3 tweener wingers and not much behind that depth-wise. That's not great.

At least St.Louis RHD overload has guys like Pysyk and Honka who are kinda used to it, and Coburn who is better than any of Dallas LHD other Ian Cole, who isn't even playing LHD for some reason.

Blues have a plenty solid Top-9 top to bottom. Dallas slight edge on top line isn't near enough to swing against all those other + for me.
