Command Analysis
St. Louis are currently in the Top-5 in the Western Conference with 25 points. However, the Blues have been inconsistent of late. For example, recently, they suffered defeats to much weaker clubs, such as Detroit (2:4) and Chicago (2:3 OT).
On the other hand, the Blues recorded a victory over Columbus (6:3) at home. St. Louis' forwards Ivan Barbashev and Pavel Buchnevich scored doubles, and Vladimir Tarasenko gave three assists. Typically, the Blues score over three goals per game at home.
Tampa are building momentum, but they are yet to mount a four-game winning streak this season. They have already climbed to the 6th line in the Eastern Conference table. After beautiful home victories over Philadelphia (4:0) and Seattle (3:0), the Lightning lost to Minnesota (2:4) away.
John Cooper's men only lost two away games in regulation. As a rule, Tampa deliver their best performance in first and second periods, but they often lose focus and concede a lot in the last 20 minutes.
