Vancouver lacks stability in the preseason. The team alternates between victories and defeats, gaining the upper hand only on the home arena. Within their home walls, the Canucks beat Calgary without much space (4:2). The defender Ekman-Larsson is to be commended for his two assists. In the return match with the Flyers, the Killer Whales suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. Returning to their ice, Vancouver was again stronger, this time over Winnipeg (3:2). Nevertheless, the team was able to retain the advantage and finish the match in regulation time.
St. Louis have already played five games in the preseason and it is worth noting that they are quite successful. The team suffered only two defeats, losing to Columbus (2:5) and Chicago (1:5). The defense showed itself from the worst side, allowing the opponent to create a large number of dangerous chances at its goal. The Blues won a landslide victory over the Blackhawks (6:3). It is worth praising striker Thomas, who gave two assists and also threw the puck. The Musicians easily coped with Minnesota, defeating the opponent with a score of 6:2. Despite the fact that “Dallas” was able to impose a serious struggle, but still “Notes” were stronger again (2:1 overtime). More accurate NHL prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
