Command Analysis

St. Louis Blues

Current form
St. Louis once again made it to the playoff zone and ended up in the eighth position of the Western Conference. The team has been working towards this for a very long time, because for a long period of time it could not get out on a winning streak. Now she feels extremely comfortable and is on a four-victoria course.
At the same time, in most cases, the notes succeeded without any problems and dealt with their opponents with a difference of several goals. The Blues literally defeated Minnesota (5:1) on the road, then beat Anaheim (7:2) at home, and after a 4-1 away victory over Nashville, they returned to home ice, where they dealt with Vancouver 4-3 in overtime in an intense struggle. In all four previous matches, the club was notable for its excellent performance and opened up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times.
The most powerful performance of Jim Montgomery's team remains the second segment, in which he has a 70:55 ratio in scoring and missed goals. In addition, the club enjoys a good numerical advantage and now has 21.4% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krug and Pareiko will not help their team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins 51.3% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the notes receive 7.1 minutes of penalty time per match.

Chicago Blackhawks

Current form
Chicago remains one of the main outsiders of the Western Conference and currently sits on the penultimate line of the standings. This season, the team can only claim not to finish in the last position, from which it is now literally four points away. Plus, she's in bad shape right now and is on a six-game losing streak.
Earlier on the road, the Hawks lost to San Jose (2:4), Vancouver (2:6), and lost to Seattle (2) on the home court.:6) and we didn't have the best fight against Los Angeles (1:3). In all cases, the Blackhawks were characterized by mediocre performance and could not open the opponents' defense more than once or twice, although they consistently missed three times in response. By the way, the problem with creating and implementing chances haunts the club throughout the season.
Also, Chicago is not always good at managing the advantage they have gained and often cannot bring it to victory when they lead the score. Perhaps partly because of this, the third period is the worst performed by Sorensen's team, because in it he has a 61:89 ratio in scoring and conceding goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Weber, Brossois and Duck will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago statistically wins 45,2% of face-offs
- On average, the hawks hit the opponent's goal with only 24 shots.

2.05Tip and bets
We don't think Chicago will be able to score points in this confrontation. Recently, the team has shown very weak results and often lost in regular time. While the Hawks were losing by a few goals, St. Louis was getting very confident wins. In addition, the Blues regularly reserved their last home games against the Blackhawks.
Prediction - St. Louis wins in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
In many past meetings, St. Louis has been known to play solid defense and deal with most threats. Chicago has been experiencing performance difficulties lately. In general, the Blackhawks often face problems realizing chances on the road this season, so it is likely that they will not be able to score three times in the upcoming meeting.
We're betting on Chicago's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.55
Bet on the total total
Despite the fact that we don't expect Chicago to score three goals in this matchup, we're still counting on open hockey. Past meetings with both St. Louis and the Hawks have been spectacular. The previous match between the clubs ended with ten goals. Based on this, we suggest betting more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
