St. Louis - Florida: betting tip (cf. 1.93) and bets on the NHL match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

Joel Hofer had a great match against Utah, deflecting all 29 shots in regular and extra time. The teams failed to score a single goal in 65 minutes, so the winner was determined only in a shootout. In the eighth round, Connor McMichael scored the decisive try and brought St. Louis a 1-0 victory. At the same time, the guests experienced serious difficulties with the implementation, without using the five majority attempts.
The victory was the second in a row after a 3-2 home win over Detroit. However, before that, Jim Montgomery's team lost to Nashville (1:3), New Jersey (4:5 OT) and the Rangers (1:3). Jimmy Snaggerud remains the main sniper, while Jake Nabors adds strength to the team. Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich are capable of creating dangerous moments, but the effectiveness of the attack is still unstable. However, on home ice, the club won five of the eight meetings, losing only once in extra time.

The Panthers made an impressive comeback in the previous meeting against Detroit. Paul Maurice's team was down 1-4 less than a minute before the end of the second period, but managed to completely turn the situation around. Gustav Forsling closed the gap, Anton Lundell scored a double, and Lars Eller restored the tie. Lundell scored the winning goal two minutes and forty seconds before the siren, giving the final score 5:4. Carter Verheghi scored three assists.
Prior to that, Florida beat Columbus (4:1), breaking a series of defeats from Boston (1:4) and Washington (3:4). Matthew Tkachuk continues to actively lead the offense, and his brother Brady adds efficiency and aggression to the team. Sam Rinehart is also in good shape, having scored his 200th goal for the club in the previous meeting. At the same time, the guests are still performing without Alexander Barkov and Brad Marchand, who are recovering from knee injuries.
Tip and bets
St. Louis won both face-to-face meetings last season, but the current confrontation promises to be difficult for the hosts. Hofer is in great shape and is able to keep the team in the game for a long time, but one reliable goalkeeper against Florida may not be enough. The visitors regularly create dangerous moments with several links, while Lundell and Reinhart effectively exploit defensive errors. At the same time, the Blues still have problems with the majority, which were especially noticeable against Utah.
Florida is also far from flawless in defense, as confirmed by four missed goals from Detroit. However, the ability to win back from 1-4 shows how dangerous the team remains even in an unfavorable situation. The visitors have more effective players on offense, and the last two wins should add confidence. We expect serious resistance from St. Louis, but we prefer the Panthers, taking into account the possible additional time.
Our betting tip is that Florida will win the match in 1.93
