St. Louis Blues vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction and Betting Tips (09.10.2021)

Command Analysis

St. Louis Blues

USA

The St. Louis Blues were defeated in three games in a row. The Blues lost to Chicago (1:5) and Dallas (1:3) and yielded to Minnesota in a bitter struggle (3:4 OT). The game against the Wild started really well for the Blues. They scored three goals in the first six minutes of the game.

But Minnesota got control in the second period and turned the game around. We should mention, however, that Craig Berube didn't include several key players in the squad, such as Tarasenko, Schenn, Perron, and O'Reilly.

Columbus Blue Jackets

USA

The Columbus Blue Jackets look pretty good in the preseason. They had only one devastating defeat against Detroit (1:5) but played quite well in the other two games. The Jackets outplayed Buffalo (5:3) and got revenge against the Red Wings at home with a score of 4:2. The team demonstrates effective hockey, which was unusual for Columbus in previous seasons. Jakub Voracek has already scored 2 goals and given 5 assists.

Brad Larsen's charges will play two more games in the preseason, one of them will be against Pittsburgh.

1.58Total over 5.5

We see a large number of goals in almost all games between these teams. Columbus under Larsen practice open hockey and act on collision courses. St. Louis's attacking line is also strong, so we expect at least six goals to be scored in the upcoming game.

Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
