Colorado had an excellent streak against Arizona and deservedly won it with a score of 4:1. After the defeat to the Coyotes (2:4), the Avalanches got angry and in the remaining two fights they dealt with the opponent very tough, defeating him with the same score – 7:1. Nazem Kadri scored a double in both matches. Although Philip Grubauer had little work, he coped well with it, reflecting a total of 37 shots on his goal. Jared Bednar’s charges generally have a high quality playoffs and are distinguished by disciplined defensive play, but they also have great offensive chances. Recall that they have suffered only two setbacks.
St. Louis put itself in a difficult position, although it seemed that everything was starting to improve and soon it will be them who will take the lead. However, a slight loss of concentration has led to the fact that now “Musicians” are once again in the role of catch-up. Note that, unlike Vancouver, the team has never scored more than three goals per game and if it fails four times in defense, it will be almost impossible for them to recoup. However, we recall that in the previous match Craig Beryuba’s wards managed to excel in the majority and Zach Sanford scored the puck. But, in general, of course, the third periods remain the weakness of the Blues, because in them they look the least active. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
