Command Analysis
St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
St. Louis is on the eighth line of the Western Conference and earned a total of 89 points. The team has improved significantly recently, so there is a high probability that it will be able to make it to the opening round of the playoffs without any problems, especially if it continues to perform in the same spirit and wins match after match.
Recall that at the moment the club is in a series of ten victories. However, lately, the Notes have had a hard time winning, as they have won either with a one-goal difference or outside of regular time. So, after a big victory over Montreal (6:1), Jim Montgomery's team beat Nashville (3:2) and Colorado (2:1) on the road, and in the last home match they dealt with Detroit with a score of 2:1 in overtime.
It is noteworthy that the Blues continue to demonstrate an extremely strong defensive game, due to which they miss no more than one or two goals. It is also worth noting the actions of the goalkeeper, Jordan Binnington, who even parried 20 shots in the last meeting.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krug and Pareiko will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins 51.2% of face-offs according to statistics.
- The notes have a 75:57 ratio for goals scored and conceded in the second period.
Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
Pittsburgh clearly can't boast the same results this season as its rival. The team is currently in the 13th position of the Eastern Conference and is already well behind the playoff zone. To date, she is separated from the coveted eight by eight points, so she needs to create something incredible and give out a long winning streak in order to get closer to her.
However, it will be very, very difficult to do this in the current reality. Pence has been showing pretty poor results lately and has often lost points. On the road, they lost to Florida (3:4B), lost to Tampa (1:6) and Buffalo (3:7). Only after returning to the home arena did the club prove its superiority over Ottawa in a hard-fought 1-0 overtime victory, remaining without a single missed goal for the first time in a long time.
Usually, Mike Sullivan's squad does not play reliably in its own zone and makes a lot of mistakes, which is why at least three or four goals regularly appear in its goal net, which is why it is the most skipping club in the East.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malkin, Imama, Novak and Blomqvist will not play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Pittsburgh wins 52.9% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the team gets 6.87 minutes of penalty time per match.

2.02Tip and bets
In our opinion, St. Louis can claim two points in this confrontation. The notes are still in great shape and have left ten previous fights behind. Pens are playing rather poorly on the road this season, and, plus, they are currently experiencing certain problems with the squad. The Blues are actively fighting to strengthen their position in the playoff zone, and they should not miss this opportunity to earn points.
Prediction - St. Louis wins in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
St. Louis has been notable for its solid defensive play lately and has managed with less than three goals conceded. In addition, Jordan Binnington is doing a great job, reflecting at least 20 shots in literally every game. Pittsburgh, in turn, scored very little in the last two out of three meetings.
We're betting on Pittsburgh's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
St. Louis didn't play very well in most of its previous matches. The team began to pay more attention to defense than before, so the three previous matches with his participation took place with less than six goals scored. Pence played the last game without any goals at all in regular time, so it makes sense to put less on the total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
