Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USAThe Islanders are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and have recenlty enjoyed a series of four victories. After that, they lost to Philadelphia (1:3) and Nashville (1:4), but then bounced back and beat Chicago (3:0). Lane Lambert's men are very active in a foreign zone and take many shots, but sometimes struggle to convert their chances. The team is very disciplined on defense and concedes an average of two goals in home games.
St. Louis Blues
USASt. Louis are slumping - they have a four-game losing streak. After a defeat to Carolina (4:6), they lost to Pittsburgh (2:6) and the Rangers (4:6). In total, the Blues conceded 12 goals in three games. This season, Craig Berube's charges are unreliable on defense, they usually concede four or more goals. Their worst periods are second and third.

Tip and bets

Our prediction - Islanders to win
Previous games of St. Louis were high-scoring, and we expect another exciting match with many goals here, because both sides play open hockey and are dangerous on offense.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
