Vancouver

Vancouver is doing much better in this Stanley Cup than St. Louis, despite all squad problems. The team first beat Minnesota, being an outsider, and then confidently took the lead in the series against the Musicians with a score of 2:0. Let us remind you that in the opening match the Canucks celebrated their success with a score of 5:2 and in the second meeting they brought the matter to overtime, but nevertheless coped with the opponent - 4:3. But in the third fight, they lost in extra time - 2:3.

Despite the fact that Jakob Markstr?m misses a lot, he also makes a huge number of saves. If it were not for his actions, then Travis Green's team was losing with devastating scores. However, now Vancouver still has two steps to make in order to advance to the next round.

St. Louis

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?
