STL Blues vs MIN Wild Prediction: Don't underestimate the home team

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 16. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

St. Louis has already played three games in the new NHL regular season, and two of them were successful - 3:2 over Seattle and 5:4 over San Jose. In the last game the Musicians on the road lost to Vegas in an extremely tight fight 3:4. Thus, the Blues added four points to their piggy bank, thanks to which they can settle for sixth place in the Western Conference table.

The team has also scored four points in three games, but they could have scored more. In the last two games Minnesota did not have enough to win, because in the duel with Seattle they were weaker than Seattle in a shootout (4:5), and the Wild lost to Winnipeg in overtime (1:2). The Wild's only win so far this season was against lowly Columbus (3:2).

Bookmakers are quoting Minnesota as the favourite, which we don't quite agree with. The Wild are still finding their form, as evidenced by their two previous failures. The Blues look pretty good, in addition, they will face the first home meeting in the new season of the NHL regular season. We do not think that they will disappoint their fans. We suggest betting on three scored pucks of the first team.
