Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh looks bad this season. Even making the playoffs would be a big success for the Penguins, considering that ahead of the meeting, they are only in seventh position in the Metropolitan Division standings with 36 points. There is no stability in the distance in the team's game, although they have now scored points in four straight games. After a 4:5 overtime loss to Ottawa, Pittsburgh had a great game against the Islanders and beat them 7:0.

St. Louis Blues

St. Louis is also not particularly fair in the current season, and for him to get into the playoffs will also be a huge success. The Blues are in sixth place in the Central Division standings with 37 points. As for the team's past matches, after a great series of three wins in regulation time, they still suffered a defeat. The day before, St. Louis, with a score of 1:2, lost to Colorado.

Expert Betting Tips

Betting company analysts believe Pittsburgh will be closer to victory in the upcoming meeting, with which we completely agree. No matter how you look at it, the Penguins look good at home, and there they even now have a winning streak of three matches in a row. On the other hand, St. Louis has lost five of their previous seven games on the road. Moreover, for the Blues, it's the second day of back-to-back games with the move, and they may not have enough energy for the whole meeting. Therefore, we offer a bet on the final success of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
