LiontipsSt. Louis vs Dallas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
St. Louis currently are in 3rd place in the Western Conference table, just two points behind the 1st Vegas with two games in hand. The Blues are on top form and keep chalking up points.
The hosts won three of their last four games, but they looked impressive even in the game against Pittsburgh, which they lost (3:5). St. Louis also crushed Washington (5:1) at home. Pavel Buchnevich netted a double and gave an assist, and Ivan Barbashev also scored a goal. Both forwards are having a wonderful season.
Dallas are only 13th in the West, but they have five games in hand, so they will soon be able to strengthen their standings. This season, the Stars have been great at their home court, but they often lose points away from home.
Currently the Stars are enjoying a three-game winning streak. Dallas crushed Minnesota (7:4), prevailed over Chicago (4:3 OT) and defeated Florida in a shootout (6:5 SO). Rick Bowness's men haven't been acting very reliably on the defensive and conceded an average of three goals per game.
