Command Analysis

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg showed amazing results throughout the regular season, which allowed the team to consistently earn points and occupy a leading position in the Western Conference table almost all the time. The team managed to avoid prolonged slumps, and the Jets were also able to end the regular season on a good note. In six matches, the team suffered only one defeat from Edmonton with a score of 1:4.
The fighters also successfully started their performance in the Stanley Cup. In the first round of the playoffs, the team faced far from the most serious opponent in the person of St. Louis and confidently proved its superiority over the Blues, winning by a two-goal margin (5:3). It turned out to be a difficult start, and in the second period the opponent even managed to take advantage, but in the final twenty minutes Winnipeg put an end to it by scoring three unanswered goals. In particular, it is worth praising the first-line forwards Connor and Scheifli, who scored three goals each.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikolai Ehlers will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Kupari and Viladrdi are still in doubt.

St. Louis Blues

Current form
St. Louis had difficulty scoring points throughout the regular season, which is why the team had very little chance of reaching the playoffs, but thanks to a long winning streak of 12 matches at the end of the regular season, it was able to cling to the eighth place in the Western Conference table. However, it is worth noting that the Blues almost lost their place to Calgary, but in the final match they managed to win a crucial victory over Utah.
As expected, the notes couldn't make a good start in the playoffs. The team faced one of the main contenders for the Stanley Cup in the person of Winnipeg and was defeated with a score of 3:5. Once again, St. Louis had huge defensive problems, which allowed the opponent to realize almost every moment. The attacking line tried to compensate for this disadvantage, but in three periods it was possible to make only 17 shots. Goalkeeper Binnington also showed his worst side, reflecting only 84% of shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krug and Holloway will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries. Thomas also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins an average of 51.5% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the notes make 26 shots on target per match.
