St. Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes: The opponents will have no problem reaching a total over

Prediction for the NHL St. Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes match, which will take place on March 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

St Louis is in poor form, heading into the upcoming game. One win and four losses is the team's record in their last five games. First there was a three-match losing streak (from Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and Columbus), then the Bluesmen beat Washington by three pucks, and finally suffered a sensational defeat from Philadelphia (2:5). Dallas is fifth in the Central Division table, just four points behind.

Carolina also suffered four defeats in their last five games, resulting in very negative consequences. The Hurricanes have lost their lead over Florida in the Eastern Conference standings. In the Metropolitan Division, it's only just getting there. Second-placed Pittsburgh is just three points behind. In the last two games, Carolina outscored Tampa 3:2 and then lost to Dallas on a penalty shot.

There is no favourite in this match. Both St. Louis and Carolina have been underperforming lately. So both teams need to win to regain their confidence. The Bluesmen now have 19 goals conceded in the past five games, while they have no problem scoring two or three pucks of their own. We think the opponents will easily reach a total over. Prediction: Total over (5.5).
