Command Analysis
St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
St. Louis recently made it to the playoff zone and is now struggling to gain a foothold in the top eight. The team has 85 points to its credit and is four points ahead of its closest pursuer, Calgary. We emphasize that this happened solely due to the fact that the club has given out a great series of six victories and, apparently, does not plan to stop there.
On the road, the Notes dealt confidently with the Predators (4:1), and upon returning to home ice, they beat Vancouver (4:3 OT) and proved their superiority over Chicago and Nashville with the same score - 4:1. By the way, in all previous meetings, the Blues had no difficulty realizing the moments and opened up the opponents defended more than three times, while conceding the minimum number of goals in response, which is completely unlike them.
Usually, Jim Montgomery's team adhered to an open style of play and acted according to the hit-and-run tactics, but now he began to pay more attention to defense and did not allow creating many threats at his own goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krug, Buchnevich and Pareiko will not play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins 51.2% of face-offs
- The notes average 24 power moves per match.
Montreal Canadiens
CanadaCurrent form
Montreal is in the eighth position of the Eastern Conference and scored a total of 75 points. The team has a real chance of making the playoffs this season, and it can't help but take advantage of such a great opportunity. At the same time, its competitors continue to show very unstable results. True, the Canadians also rarely won in recent matches, but they managed without defeats in regular time.
On the home court, the Tricolor dealt with Florida (3:1) and Ottawa (6:3), but on the road they lost to the Islanders (3:4 OT), and upon returning to their ice, they lost to Colorado with a score of 4:5 in shootouts. However, the Canadians can be absolutely pleased with themselves, because in that meeting they won back from 0:3 and greatly pleased the home stands with a comeback from the opening score.
Let's emphasize that Martin San Luis's team often began to score at least three or four goals. However, Montreal is not playing so well at other venues, as it has won only 12 regular-time games all season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Price, Duck and Goulet will not participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Montreal averages 26 shots on target per game.
- According to statistics, Montreal makes 24 power plays per game.

In four out of five matches, the Canadians were successful in the third leg.
2.95Tip and bets
In our opinion, Montreal can claim points in this confrontation. Tricolor had previously shown extremely decent results and managed without defeats in the main time. The Blues have already lost to their opponent once this season and haven't played against him since. The Canadians are clearly an inconvenient opponent for the home team, so many past meetings have ended in their favor. Based on this, it makes sense to bet on the success of the St. Louis squad.
Prediction - Montreal wins in 2.95
Betting on an individual total
Montreal has recently demonstrated excellent performance and opened up the opponents' defenses at least three times. In the previous six meetings, the Tricolours scored at least three goals. In addition, in four out of five matches against St. Louis, the guests also scored more than two goals. That is why we suggest betting on their individual total.
We bet on Montreal's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
The last five matches between the teams were spectacular and took place with no less than six goals scored. Montreal is constantly counting on outdoor hockey. The notes in previous meetings also had no difficulties with creating and implementing moments, so it makes sense to put more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 pucks from cf 1.90
