Winnipeg Jets - St. Louis Blues: NHL match betting tip

The Jets won two meetings on their own ice, but could not maintain the advantage and lost two matches in Missouri. Now the series will start anew and it is not entirely clear what condition the hosts are in now. After the games in the USA, there is a feeling that Jim Montgomery's players can now be considered favorites. Is it so? Look for the answer in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg was one of the leaders of the Western Conference and the league as a whole during the regular season and deservedly won the President's Cup. The team led by Scott Arniel was better than others in defense and conceded only 2.33 goals per game on average. The Canadians also played well offensively, but they mostly won thanks to their diligence on their side of the ice. Connor Hellebuyck became the best goalkeeper of the first part of the season, having reflected 92.49% of shots on his possessions.
The Jets were clear favorites in the opening series and immediately began to prove that they had this status for a reason. The fighters made a beautiful comeback at the end of the first match (5:3), and then consolidated their advantage, not allowing the opponent to show his best hockey in attack (2:1). Mark Scheifele's squad went away in a great mood, but was defeated twice in Missouri. Now the owners will have to start from scratch.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikolai Ehlers will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Gabriel Vilardi's participation is still in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Winnipeg gets 35 minutes of penalty time in the playoffs.
- Jets win 47.1% of face-offs
St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
St. Louis did not show a strong level of hockey in the first part of the season, but with the arrival of Jim Montgomery on the coaching bridge, it improved a lot. The Blues began to earn points regularly, and at the end of the regular season they gave out a series of 12 consecutive wins, which allowed the club from Missouri to get into the top eight of the best clubs in the West. The musicians often demonstrated excellent execution of moments and scored an average of 3.1 goals per game in the regular season.
The notes looked pretty good in the away matches at the start of the current series and were very close to success in both the first match and the second. In the end, Brayden Schenn's squad came home, losing 0:2 in the confrontation, but did not give up. To the roar of the home stands, St. Louis first defeated the opponent in the third game (7:2), and then equalized (5:1), scoring 12 times against the best defense in the league in 120 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tori Krueger and Dylan Holloway will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries. Tyler Tucker also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins an average of 52.9% of face-offs.
- According to statistics, the notes make 22 shots on target per match.
Trends
Betting 1st period: St. Louis will score
The Blues scored in the first period in all games of the series.
1.85Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches, the teams scored at least twice in the first leg.
1.95Tip and bets
Winnipeg started the series well and was pretty strong on its half of the ice in Canada. However, the Jets had problems in the opening matches and Scott Arniel's players did not get the victory easily. St. Louis continues to improve from match to match, and the Blues did not allow the opponent anything in their arena. The musicians simply defeated the fighters in Missouri and now the psychological advantage is clearly on the side of the guests. We think that at least they won't lose in regular time.
Our betting tip is that St. Louis will not lose in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
The musicians play great offensively throughout the series and only in one match were they unable to score at least three goals. Winnipeg is not what it used to be, and Connor Hellebuyck does not help out his teammates in the playoffs. We believe that the guests will not sit on their side of the ice again and will be able to distinguish themselves at least three times once again.
Prediction - St. Louis' individual total is more than two goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams are very active and productive in attack, which is especially true for St. Louis. We believe that the Blues will once again take advantage of the Jets' defensive problems and realize their full potential. Let's play a bet on the total of more goals.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.80
