LiontipsSt. Louis vs Carolina. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
St. Louis are in 11th place in the West. The team had enjoyed a good run of form, but recently started slumping. Recently, they managed to overcome Florida (5:4 ОТ), but right after that the Blues lost to Dallas with a score of 1:4. This season, the Blues are unreliable on defense and concede three to four goals on average. Binnington and Greiss haven't been showing their best performance, either.
Carolina are in the top-5 in the East with 29 points. Overall, the Hurricanes are doing better, than the Blues, but not so long ago they had a five-game losing streak. In the last two games, the Canes managed to collect three points. They prevailed over Calgary (3:2) and then beat Pittsburgh in overtime (3:2 OT). Rod BrindAmour's men are playing a very defensive brand of hockey this season, they rarely concede more than two goals per game.
Tip and bets
Carolina had a tough schedule last month, which resulted in the five-game losing streak. We believe that St. Louis will be able to capitalize on their home advantage and eke out a win over the Canes.
Our prediction - handicap (0) to St. Louis
Carolina haven't scored three goals in most recent games, and in one of the outings they failed to find a goal. We doubt they will be able to break through St. Louis' defenses and deliver three goals.
Second bet - Carolina IT under 3 goals
