Command Analysis
St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
St. Louis is located outside the playoff zone and currently occupies 11th place in the Western Conference. It will be very difficult for the team to overcome the powerful competition, but it will certainly continue to make every effort. It should be noted that she had a successful period last month, but the end of January and the beginning of February turned out to be very unsuccessful for the club, and it lost a lot of points. So, in six previous meetings out of eight, the Blues were defeated.
They dealt with Utah (2:1) on the road, after which they lost to Edmonton (2:3 OT) and Florida (2:3) at home, but in the final confrontation they still dealt with Chicago with a score of 6:5 in shootouts. That match with the Hawks turned out to be very difficult, as the Blues had to fight back several times, but in the end, luck was on their side. However, the alarming "bell" is that once again there were five goals in their net, which they conceded in just 21 shots, but this raises more questions for the goalkeeper, Jordan Binnington.
It is worth noting that Jim Montgomery's squad spends the second half of the game most strongly, but the first and third periods are not the best for her, to put it mildly. For example, in the same last twenty minutes, the "notes" have a 49:62 ratio of goals scored and conceded. In addition, the team plays poorly in the minority and now has only 71.3% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.

Krug, Texier and Tucker will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.

Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg is showing great results during the regular season and probably wants to consolidate its leadership in the Western Conference. At the moment, the team has 81 points to its credit and has already made a pretty comfortable reserve for itself, so it can feel fully fine. By the way, the Jets continue to perform at a high level and are on a long winning streak. The Jets are in excellent condition, similar to the one they had at the very start of the season. So, they celebrated success in eight previous meetings.
Note that earlier they dealt with Boston on the road (6:2), then beat Washington (5:4 OT), and already on their ice they proved their superiority over Carolina (3:0) and not without problems, but still dealt with the Islanders with with a score of 4:3. At the same time, in all cases, the "air army" made great use of its moments and was distinguished by no less than three abandoned pucks. By the way, the club is now the only one in the league who has managed to overcome the 200 goals scored per season mark. This is not surprising, because even on foreign grounds, he scores about three or four goals on average.
Overall, Scott Arniel's squad is playing a powerful game on the road and had previously won 13 victories during regular time. Do not forget that Winnipeg is making great use of its attempts in the majority and now has 33.8% of excess sales, ranking first in the championship in this indicator.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks

1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In three out of five meetings against St. Louis, the guests reserved the second period for themselves.
2.55Tip and bets
Winnipeg looks like a clear favorite in this matchup. Before the break, the team was in great shape, and if it could keep it at least 50%, it should earn two points in the upcoming match with St. Louis. The "Notes" look rather weak against the background of their counterpart, so it's no coincidence that in most previous meetings they were inferior to him within the main time. Previously, Maurice's team often dealt with opponents with a difference of several goals, and the Blues remained without points, so we suggest betting on the success of the guests.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins with a handicap (0) in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Winnipeg has shown strong performance in most previous matches and has opened up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times. On average, even on the road, the Jets score about four goals. St. Louis, on the other hand, does not have a reliable defensive game and makes a lot of mistakes at their own goal. In addition, in the last four out of five matches against the Blues, the guests scored at least three times.
We bet on the individual total of "Winnipeg" more than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
This match promises to be spectacular and will take place with no less than six goals scored. Winnipeg remains the most productive team in the league and has surpassed the 200-goal mark. St. Louis has often scored at least two goals lately, too. Considering that three out of five face-to-face meetings between the clubs also turned out to be "top-level", we suggest betting more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.80
