Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

STL Blues

St. Louis is a frequent participant in cup battles, but they did not make it to the last Stanley Cup. Of course, now they wanted to work on their mistakes and get into the playoff zone, but they had some bad stretches during the regular season that didn't allow them to do that. And now they've finally got a good run, so they've started to gain ground, getting closer to the coveted top eight. In the last seven battles, the team made only one misfire, losing to Colorado - 3:4, and in the remaining six games, there were only victories. The Bluesmen now sit ninth in the Western Conference standings, four points behind the top-8.

VGS Golden Knights

Vegas is the reigning Stanley Cup winner, who started the current regular season in a champion-like manner, scoring 21 out of 22 possible points in 11 starting games, but then, due to numerous injuries, began to lose ground and, therefore, now risks not making the playoffs at all. The Knights looked mediocre in the first half of March, but now they've started to improve. In the last seven meetings, they've had only two misfires, losing to Calgary and Tampa Bay, 1:4 and 3:5, respectively, and in the five remaining battles they've won exclusively. This run allowed them to maintain the eighth line in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

St. Louis and Vegas are currently neighbors in the Western Conference standings, and they are neighbors in eighth and ninth places and, therefore, are direct competitors in the fight for a ticket to the playoffs. The outcome of the head-to-head battle will either exacerbate the intrigue in this matter to the extreme or bury it. The second option is most likely, as the Knights are the reigning Stanley Cup winners who know how to play the key games of the season, and they have won three of the last four head-to-head meetings.

In the previous seven head-to-head meetings, the rivals have combined to score 52 pucks (7.43 per game on average). In addition, the Musicians and Knights have scored at least three goals each in four of the last six meetings, so a goal shootout is now very likely.
