LiontipsSt. Louis vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 30, 2022).
Command Analysis
St. Louis will play Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs. The team is in decent form and won three games in a row - against San Jose (3:1), Arizona (5:4 OT), and Anaheim (6:3). In the last outing, the Blues suffered a defeat to Colorado (3:5).
The team averages over three goals per game. Schenn and Perron will soon return to the ranks after their injuries, and that will certainly improve St. Louis' attacking performance.
Vegas failed to make it to the playoffs. The Golden Knights had a chance to clinch a last-minute ticket, but they lost three games in a row to San Jose (4:5 SO), Dallas (2:3 SO), and Chicago (3:4 SO). All three games ended outside regulation.
The VGK have a powerful team with star players, but they continue to lose to clear outsiders. Peter DeBoer's men seem to have lost all motivation after their defeat to the Sharks.
