Detroit suddenly found itself in the spotlight because of the Dylan Larkin situation. The striker refused to continue playing for the team in anticipation of an exchange, after which the management announced his suspension. However, the rest of the hockey players managed to cope with Chicago and won a second victory in a row. St. Louis is also approaching the upcoming meeting after a successful performance. The team broke a series of two dry defeats, confidently beating Boston. Now the rivals will have to find out the relationship in Detroit, where the hosts will try to maintain their momentum. In our betting tip, we will consider the current state of the teams and choose a bet
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
Viktor Arvidsson became the main character of Detroit's previous meeting with Chicago, scoring a hat-trick and an assist. At the same time, the start turned out to be unsuccessful, as Connor Bedard led the visitors ahead in the first period. Arvidsson restored equality in the second twenty minutes, and at the beginning of the third Lucas Raymond realized the majority and provided the hosts with an advantage for the first time. Later, Arvidsson scored twice more, including an empty-net goal, and set the final score at 4:1. John Gibson blocked 18 shots, and Alex Debrinkat scored two assists.
The victory turned out to be especially important against the background of the situation with Larkin, who is no longer playing for the team, awaiting an exchange. Despite losing one of the leading strikers, Detroit has won the last two games. Before the success against Chicago, they managed to beat Edmonton in shootouts (4:3), and then the team fought back several times during the meeting. Earlier, the Red Wings lost to Calgary (1:4), but overcame Vancouver (5:2). Raymond and Debrinkat continue to play a significant role in the attack, and Arvidsson certainly gained additional confidence after the last performance. Now the hosts need to keep the organization of the game without their former captain.
St. Louis Blues
The Blues couldn't score a single goal in two consecutive games, so the last victory over Boston turned out to be especially pleasant. The team won 4-1, with Robert Thomas and Philip Broberg scoring three points each. The visitors opened the scoring in the first period, but Jimmy Snaggerud managed to restore equality in the majority. Then Broberg put St. Louis ahead, and Thomas increased the advantage with an accurate shot from the central attacking zone. In the final period, Jake Nabors implemented another majority and finally decided the outcome of the meeting. Joel Hofer made 31 shots.
Prior to that, Jim Montgomery's team lost to Montreal (0:2) and Carolina (0:4), showing almost nothing ahead. Even earlier, we managed to defeat Vegas with a score of 6:2 and beat Winnipeg (2:1). Such results indicate a serious instability of the attack, although there are enough dangerous performers in the squad. Thomas is able to create chances, and Broberg actively helps his partners in drawing the majority. However, even after a successful meeting with Boston, the question remains how long the team will be able to maintain high performance. In addition, now we have to go against an opponent who is also in a good mood.
Larkin's absence is becoming a serious loss for Detroit, but the last meeting showed that the team is able to achieve results without him. Arvidsson is in excellent condition, and Raymond and Debrinkat continue to create dangerous moments. At the same time, the hosts acted confidently enough in defense against Chicago, not allowing the opponent to develop an advantage after a quick goal. St. Louis has also improved after two setbacks, but the offense still lacks stability. Even a confident victory over Boston does not yet allow us to talk about a complete solution to the problems.
Both rivals held previous meetings on the same day, so no one will have a serious advantage in rest. However, Detroit gets the opportunity to play on its own court and will certainly try to continue its successful streak. The guests are able to impose a fight, especially when playing in the majority, but the hosts now look a little more confident in organizing team actions. We assume that the Red Wings will be able to use their opportunities and achieve victory, perhaps already in extra time.
Our prediction is that Detroit will win the game in 1.80 seconds.
