LiontipsEdmonton vs St Louis. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 22, 2022).
Command Analysis
Edmonton had a good season last year and will hope to become one of the leaders in the West. The team hasn't picked good form yet and lost two out of four games. The Oilers even lost to Buffalo (2:4) at home, but in the following game managed to bounce back and beat Carolina (6:4).
Edmonton are aggressive on offense and like to play on collision courses; their defense is unreliable. The Oilers compensate for weak defense by brilliant actions in attack. Connor McDavid has already chalked up ten points with five goals and five assists.
St. Louis looked decent in the regular season but couldn't deliver in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Craig Berube's charges have only played two games in the new season, but they won both of them.
The Blues crushed Columbus (5:2) and got a hard-fought victory over Seattle (4:3 OT). In the last outing, the team had four power play opportunities, but couldn't convert any of them.

Ставка3rd period: Edmonton to win

Tip and bets
Edmonton should win this game - they are in decent form and come into this fixture off the back of a victory over Carolina. St. Louis have played only two games this season and had long breaks between the games. The hosts should take advantage of that.
Our prediction - Edmonton to win
Previous games between these clubs were often high-scoring, and since both sides stick to open hockey, we expect them to deliver at least seven goals in the upcoming game.
Second bet - total over 6.5 goals
