Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs St. Louis Blues match, which will take place on March 8. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona didn't surprise anyone in the first half of the regular season and just started playing for fun, paying little attention to the result. The Coyotes don't have the resources to make the playoffs. In the run-up to the game, they're in 13th place in the West standings and seventh in the Central Division with 52 points. The team has also not shown anything special in recent games - five losses in six. Although in the past, Arizona lost to New Jersey only in overtime (4:5).

St. Louis left some hope of making the playoffs for a long time, occasionally showing great hockey. But that's all in the past now, and in fact, the Blues have let their leaders go and dropped significantly in hockey class, slipping to 11th place in the West standings. They're also sixth in the Central Division standings with 59 points, and no one expects them in the playoffs. Recent results are also terrible - seven losses in eight games. In the past, St. Louis lost to Los Angeles (2:4).

In this matchup, we suggest staying away from the outcome. It's hard to predict who will be stronger, considering how the teams have been performing lately. It's better to pay attention to their poor defensive play with 227 missed pucks each and that in four of the five previous head-to-head encounters, at least seven pucks have been scored. Even now, we think the opponents, who already have nothing to lose, will have an entertaining game.
