St. Louis Blues vs Minnesota Wild Prediction: It’s Time to Take Revenge on the Blues

Last season, St. Louis knocked Minnesota out of the Stanley Cup. Will the Wild be able to take revenge on the Blues in the first match of the new season series?

The Blues are playing unstable in the first part of the regular season. Craig Berube's team approaches the match with Minnesota, even outside the wild card zone – in 10th place in the Western Conference. And although in the previous match, the Blues won 3-1 over Chicago, they lost three times in a row – to Seattle, Vegas, and Toronto. However, it is worth noting that the Golden Knights and the Maple Leafs, St. Louis lost only outside regular time. It looks like the team is starting to get in shape after all.

The Wild could not cope with Dallas losing 1-4 on their ice in the last match. However, it is unlikely that this loss greatly spoiled the mood of Dean Evason's team. After all, before the meeting with Dallas, Minnesota won seven out of eight matches, conceding more than two goals only once during this period. In the summary table of the Western Conference, Minnesota currently occupies a high fifth place. The Wilds are making a serious bid for a successful season in the first half of the championship.

Minnesota has been demonstrating a very high level of hockey this season, including in defense. The appearance of Marc-Andre Fleury at the last turn gave the team confidence. It will be challenging for St. Louis to cope with such Wilds. Moreover, Craig Berube's team has a lot of problems so far – St. Louis cannot find stability in any way and does not even get into the playoffs.
