LiontipsSt. Louis vs Winnipeg. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
St. Louis are outside the playoffs zone; currently, the team is in 12th place in the West. After a losing streak and defeats to Pittsburgh (4:6) and the Rangers (4:6), the Blues celebrated success over the Islanders (7:4). Craig Berube's charges are terrible on defense this season. On average, they concede four goals per game. Their worst periods are second and third, and goalies Binnington and Greiss aren't having a good season at all.
Winnipeg are second in the West with 33 points to their name. The team rarely loses two games in a row, For instance, after a crushing defeat to Columbus (1:4), the Jets beat Anaheim and Florida with the same score of 5:2. At the same time, Winnipeg got only two away victories in regulation. Rick Bowness' men enjoy playing on collision course and usually don't concede more than two goals per game.

Most recent games of Winnipeg and St. Louis were high-scoring. The Blues play open hockey because they don't really have a strong defensive line. We recommend taking the over.
