St. Louis Blues - Chicago Blackhawks. NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

St. Louis started the preseason on the road, where they failed to score a single victory. In the first match, the team faced Dallas and was one step away from victory, but it was disappointing to lose in a shootout (1:2). Next, the club went to visit Columbus, where it could well have won back, but due to a weak defensive game, it suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. Both goalkeeper Zharenkov and Hofer showed their worst side, reflecting only 85% of shots between the two. Recall that the club turned out to be one of the most inactive in the offseason and practically did not wear out the squad.

Current form

Chicago has so far played only one match in the preseason, in which it faced Detroit and suffered an expected defeat with a score of 2:3. In the third period, the hawks equalized the score, but they were unable to keep it, missing the puck just eight minutes before the final whistle. It is worth noting that the Blackhawks played terribly defensively and allowed the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous moments at their own goal, and they managed to avoid complete defeat only due to the magnificent game of goalkeeper Cederblom.
