St. Louis Blues vs Pittsburgh Penguins: Expect a goal scoring extravaganza

Prediction for the NHL St. Louis Blues vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on March 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

St. Louis didn't particularly shine in the last five-game stretch. They had only two wins and three losses, with a combined score of 19:17. It's pretty strange that the Bluesmen are playing this kind of hockey with a little of a lead. The Bluesmen are second in the Central Division table, with a nine-point lead over fifth-placed Dallas. In the last meeting, the Notes suffered an overtime defeat against Winnipeg.

Unlike St. Louis, Pittsburgh can already forget about the play-off zone. They are already in the playoff zone, with an 18-point lead over fifth-ranked Columbus. In the last three games, the Penguins beat tough Vegas, then defeated Carolina (4:2) and, finally, lost on the road to Nashville (1:4).

In this pairing, it is very difficult to decide on a favourite. Both St. Louis and Pittsburgh have lost three of their last five games. The Penguins need little from this matchup, while the Blues could use two points. Two very productive teams will meet. The Penguins are averaging 3.24 goals per 61 games. St. Louis has a slightly better average of 3.57. Prediction: Total over (5.5).
