LeBron James and the company sagged somewhat and this is even noticeable to the naked eye. The impression was that the team simply neglected the last matches, because they understood perfectly well that the first place in the Western Conference would not go anywhere. The Lakers have won only three matches since the restart, but the club continues to be among the top contenders for the championship. Frank Vogel is betting on a stellar duo, which is why Anthony Davis arrived in Los Angeles early in the season. The Lakes will face a worthy rival in the first round of the playoffs, so the favorite will hardly be able to relax, rather the opposite – they will have to turn on the speed.
St. Louis had an important victory in overtime and Braden Shann had his say with the decisive goal. Let us emphasize that even in the third meeting, the “Musicians” conceded the puck in the minority, but they themselves did not take advantage of their chances in unequal compositions. In general, the implementation of the excess remains for the Bluesmen the most important problem in the playoffs and largely because of this, they suffered five defeats in a row. The team of Craig Beryube is having difficulties with performance. If during the season this could be justified by a high-quality defensive play, now the team consistently concedes two or three goals per game. It can be seen that in every meeting, St. Louis tries to make as many shots as possible on goal, but they do not bear much fruit. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
