Command Analysis

St. Louis Blues

Current form
St. Louis made a big improvement at the end of the season, so it was perfectly clear that it would become an uncomfortable opponent for Winnipeg. Plus, the Blues play hockey, which is very unpleasant for their counterpart. They perform especially strongly on the home court. Let's remind that earlier on the ice the team proved superiority over the opponent with the score 7:2 and 5:1 respectively.
However, in the final guest meeting, the notes still lost with a score of 3:5. Then they had a bad end to the second half of the game, conceding two unanswered goals, and subsequently could not return to the fight. In addition, Jim Montgomery's team was not as active in the offensive zone as before, and scored only 19 shots on goal. The only successful match was for Nathan Walker, who scored a double.
In general, St. Louis always counts on open hockey and feels extremely comfortable with such a game, since it does not experience difficulties with the realization of moments. That is why, even in the current series, the club's second period is the best compared to the rest of the segments, and it has a 5:2 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Holloway, Krug and Tucker will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins 53.7% of face-offs
- On average, the notes are cast 22 times in this series.

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg was the undisputed leader of the Western Conference and got, based on the standings, the most convenient opponent in the opening round. However, the series is already turning out to be not so simple for him. All because the team is not playing well away. Even in the attack on the road, she does not play as well as on the home court, and usually does not score more than one or two goals per match.
Of course, the Jets are sorely missing one of the main strikers in the person of Nikolai Ehlers, who was injured at the wrong time a few games before the start of the playoffs. Mark Scheifli was also slightly injured in the last match, and if the air army is left without him, it will become even more difficult for her to get to the next round.
It is noteworthy that while Scott Arniel's squad was the best in the league in terms of playing in the majority during the regular season, in the playoffs it has only 14.3% of excess sales and occupies one of the last positions in this indicator. In addition, she has only 68.4% neutralization of the majority of the opponent and misses in almost every match in the 4x5 format.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikolai Ehlers will miss the upcoming match, while Mark Scheifli remains in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg holds 43 power moves per match
- On average, the Jets block 14 shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive.
2.05Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In three out of five meetings, the hosts scored goals in the second leg.
1.55Tip and bets
We think that St. Louis is capable of claiming success in this match. The Notes had a great time in the last two matches on their ice and didn't give Winnipeg a single chance for a favorable outcome. In addition, the participation in the match of one of the main scorers of the Jets, Mark Scheifli, remains questionable, without whom they will obviously not be so productive in the offensive zone. We think that at the moment the Blues are in no way inferior to their counterpart, so we are waiting for the seventh meeting in this series.
Prediction - St. Louis wins in 2.35
Betting on an individual total
St. Louis plays great on its ice offensively and regularly scores three or more goals. Winnipeg, in turn, has conceded at least three times in the last three games. Plus, the Jets are playing very poorly in the minority in this series and miss in this format in almost every match. Based on this, we expect to see three goals from the hosts again.
We're betting on St. Louis' individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.82
Bet on the total total
Almost all the previous matches between the teams turned out to be spectacular and took place with a large number of goals. The clubs are not afraid of each other and do not try to play indoor hockey. They continue to operate on opposite courses, despite the importance of duels. It is likely that in the sixth match of the series we will witness at least six goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 2.15
