Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg approached the opening series of the playoffs as a clear favorite and showed a great game at home, where he took a significant advantage, winning two consecutive victories over St. Louis with the score 5:3 and 2:1, respectively. It was expected that it would be more difficult to achieve the desired result on the road, but few could have predicted crushing defeats. The Jets could not cope with the pressure of the opponent, allowing him to even the score in the series. It was only after returning to the home arena that the club finally showed its attacking potential again, winning the third victory with a score of 5:3. It is impossible not to mention the efforts of forwards Connor and Appleton, who scored three points each.
However, in the next away match, the fighters had serious defensive problems. Goalkeeper Hellebuyck did not cope with his main task, which led to a three-goal loss (3:5). Winnipeg no longer has the right to make mistakes, as another setback will lead to relegation from the playoffs.

St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
With great difficulty, St. Louis clung to a ticket to the playoffs and in the very first round fought against one of the main contenders for the Stanley Cup in the person of Winnipeg. It seemed that after two defeats in a row, the club would no longer be able to return to the quarterfinals, but with the support of the home stands, the Blues unexpectedly defeated the Jets twice with a score of 7:2 and 5:1, respectively. The most productive was defender Fowler, who scored six goals in both meetings. Goalkeeper Binnington also defended confidently, not allowing his opponent to even think about a comeback.
Easy wins over the clear favorite were supposed to give St. Louis additional confidence in his abilities, but as soon as he went to play on the road, he immediately suffered a return defeat (2:5). This time, the attacking line looked very passive and made only 18 shots at the Jets' goal in three periods. The Notes returned to their home arena, being one step away from relegation, but the additional pressure did not prevent them from equalizing the score again, winning the third victory in the series with a score of 5:2.

Tori Krueger, Tyler Tucker and Dylan Holloway will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

1.72Tip and bets
Few people would have expected that Winnipeg would meet such fierce resistance from St. Louis. Indeed, the club was the clear favorite and it seemed that it would easily make its way to the quarterfinals, but this did not happen. Now the Jets, as well as the Blues, are one step away from relegation and any mistake can cost them very dearly. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that we have achieved absolutely all our victories on the home arena, and in every away match we have now lost by a margin of two or more goals. St. Louis will host the upcoming match again, which means you should not believe in its success. We suggest not chasing a high coefficient, but betting on the victory of the ice masters, including overtime.
Our betting tip is for Winnipeg to win the match in 1.67
Bet on the total
Also, we should definitely expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. It is rather strange that the bookmakers give an overestimated coefficient for a total of more, because in only one match of the series the clubs scored less than six goals. We suggest you take advantage of this.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.92
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Winnipeg's first period was far from the most successful. Even playing in the home arena, the team rarely earned an advantage at the end of the kickoff.
Betting Tip - St. Louis will not lose in the first period for 1.45
