Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

Current form
Anaheim ended a short home streak in which it showed mixed results. In the first match, the team faced Vancouver and, due to excellent attacking play, won a landslide victory with a score of 5:2. Strom and Terry showed a great game, scoring a double and giving one assist each. But the team was unable to consolidate its success. In the duel with Chicago, the Ducks themselves experienced huge defensive problems, allowing their competitor to realize a large number of dangerous moments, which eventually led to a defeat (3-6).
Few people could have expected that the Ducks would not just rehabilitate themselves away from Edmonton, but would completely defeat the clear favorite with a four-goal difference (6:2). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. However, in the second leg against Vancouver, Anaheim's performance disappeared somewhere, but they only managed to score two goals, which was not enough (2:3). So far, the Ducks are still too far from the playoff zone, occupying the 12th place in the Western Conference table with 61 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
McGinn and Sushanek are on Anaheim's list. Fabbri and Gibson are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim is averaging 2.6 goals per game.
- On average, the club receives 8.77 penalty minutes per match.

St. Louis Blues

Current form
St. Louis continues to be in amazing shape, and in six matches the team has suffered only one defeat from the clear favorite, in the person of Dallas (3-6). What is especially noteworthy is that before that, the team confidently coped not only with outsiders, defeating Colorado (3:1), Washington (5:2) and Los Angeles (4:1). It cannot be said that in all the matches the attacking line of the club consistently created powerful pressure on the competitors, but the accuracy of the shots was off the charts. And in the match against Dallas, both goalkeepers Hofer and Binnington failed, reflecting only 77% of shots between the two.
The Blues were able to quickly recover for the lost points and played as reliably as possible in defense in the return meeting with Los Angeles, which allowed them to snatch a heavy Victory in a shootout (3:2). It is worth praising the entire first link, as absolutely every hockey player has distinguished himself by effective action. Thanks to its long rise, the team has already seriously approached the playoff zone and is currently on the 10th line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the eighth position is only one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Krug and Paraiko remain in the St. Louis infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis is averaging three goals per game.

1.77Tip and bets
It's hard to believe that Anaheim is capable of fighting back in the upcoming match. The team continues to be in poor shape and suffers defeats more often than it succeeds. St. Louis, on the other hand, has gained amazing form and consistently defeats almost any opponents in its path. Recently, the Blues have been steadily earning points even on the road. It is for these reasons that we suggest not taking any risks, but making a confident bet in favor of the guests for an excellent coefficient.
Our betting tip is for St. Louis to win in 2.12
Bet on the total
The upcoming match promises to be productive. Anaheim continues to experience huge problems in defense and tries to compensate for this disadvantage through active actions in attack, which constantly leads to a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.91
Betting on the outcome of the first period
St. Louis, due to its form and overall superiority over its opponent, is quite capable of creating serious problems for Anaheim at the very beginning of the match. We believe that the Blues will be able to earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - St. Louis wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.68
