Vancouver

Vancouver is having a great season, in contrast to the last one. At the same time, Rick Tocchet began to build a team that is now consistently good. From the beginning, the Canucks impressed their fans and still do. In their last nine games, they have only lost once, unexpectedly to Columbus in a shootout, 4-3, and have won the remaining eight. All this allows Vancouver to lead the Western standings.

St. Louis

St. Louis is one of the most consistent teams in the league but rarely makes it to the cup. Last season was a rare exception, as they failed to reach the cup eight, and now they miss out on the Stanley Cup again. The debut of the season was not so bad, but they could not stay on a high level. In January, the Blues lose more often than they win, and that's why they sit outside the playoff with a chance to make up the difference.

Expect Betting Tips

Last season, the opponents were comparable, so they finished 11th and 12th in the Western Conference. We see a completely different picture: the Canucks top the standings, but the Blues are outside the top eight. The Canadian club has made serious progress, and their chances of success are much higher. In addition, Rick Tocchet's men have been in impressive form, earning 17 points out of 18 in their last nine matches.

Vancouver is also looking good on offense. They have been especially productive at home. In the last nine games at Rogers Arena, the Canucks shot 36 pucks for an average of 4.00 per game. St. Louis has no reliable defense, so the Blues must find and use their opportunities again.
