LiontipsSeattle vs St. Louis. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 20, 2022).
Command Analysis
Seattle continue to play at their home arena. In the last game, they suffered a crushing defeat to Carolina (1:5). The defensive line couldn't withhold the Canes' attack and goalie Grubauer saved only 85% of the shots. Before that, the Kraken played against Vegas. They conceded two goals in the first three minutes of the game and couldn't bounce back (2:5).
St. Louis were crushed by Columbus (0:7) in the last preseason game. Both Greiss and Hofer were unreliable in goal. The Blues gave a much better performance in the opening games of the regular season - they beat Chicago (6:0) and Columbus (5:2). Binnigton was tending to the goal in both games, and he was much more reliable that his teammates.

Seattle are the underdogs here, despite having home advantage. The Kraken are too unreliable on defense and often lose by wide margins. St. Louis, on the other hand, have looked very confident so far, and we will be backing them in this fixture.
