Washington - St. Louis: NHL match betting tip

Current form

St. Louis intends to reach the top eight in the West as soon as possible. The team from Missouri is on the 11th line in the conference table and has 60 points to its credit after 59 starts. The guests played poorly in the second half of January and did not start the new calendar month in the best way. The team currently has a series of four matches with points scored. Before the break, the Blues beat Chicago (6:5, B), but after the break they lost to Winnipeg (3:4, B). The musicians easily dealt with Colorado (3:1), and a day later defeated Seattle in Missouri (7:2). Now the team, led by Jim Montgomery, has a lot to play on the road.

The Blues have been playing strongly offensively in the second half of February and have scored 20 goals in four matches. St. Louis scored more than two goals in four consecutive matches, and the hosts have an average of only 2.83 accurate hits per game. Jordan Kairu is the leader of the musicians' attack. The Canadian forward scored 47 goals (24+23).

The guests are playing unstable defense during the current month. They conceded 14 times in the previous five games, and the picture is even worse on the road. During the previous five away matches alone, the red light outside the musicians' gate was turned on 20 times. The Blues' main goaltender Jordan Binnington played 41 games at the base and reflected only 89.88% of shots, so Joel Hofer has been increasingly appearing at the last line of defense lately.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tori Krug and Alexandre Texier will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
