St. Louis was defeated in three matches in a row, however, in two of them they lost with a difference of one goal. Recall that the team lost to Colorado (1: 2) and Dallas (1: 2 B) and also could not hold back the onslaught of Vegas – 4:6. Note that the “Musicians”, as well as during the “regular season”, do not have big problems with defense, but at the same time they do not have high performance in attack. By the way, the Blues had a good chance to beat the Stars, as they opened the score and controlled the situation until the last minute, but at the end they conceded in the 5×6 format and turned out to be worse in the shootout. So far, even Vladimir Tarasenko, who is one of the main scorers of the squad, cannot score points.
The leader of the East also disappointed, although he still remains to chair the conference. The team won only two victories after the restart and, to be honest, it’s hard to believe. Milwaukee managed to deal with Boston (119-112) when Giannis Adetokunbo scored a dub-double and beat Miami (130-116) when the star striker repeated his achievement. Of course, Mike Budenholzer’s charges are already thinking about the playoffs, but they shouldn’t forget about the fans either. The Bucks have a good opportunity to somehow rectify the situation, since Washington is completely unstuck, so everything is in the hands of the deer. In short, it’s time for the team to show their level.
