LiontipsFlorida vs St. Louis. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 4, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Florida Panthers are top of the Eastern Conference table with 35 points in the asset. This season the Panthers have been fantastic, and even without their star player Alexander Barkov they score a lot in almost every game. For example, in the last two matches at home, Florida got the upper hand against Washington (5:4) and Buffalo (7:4).
In both cases, the Panthers were losing, but made comebacks in the third period. Sergei Bobrovsky had quite a poor game against Buffalo. After he conceded four goals, he was substituted off, and Spencer Knight delivered a much more solid performance.
The St. Louis Blues are 6th in the West, but they haven't been able to build a long winning streak this season, mostly alternating between victories and defeats.
At home, the Blues crushed Columbus (6:3) and prevailed over Tampa in a shootout (4:3 SO), but away they lost to the Lightning (2:4). The Blues also have problems on the defensive and concede a lot against high-scoring teams. On average, they concede 3 goals in away games.
