Blues vs Rangers Key Stats
St. Louis has performed below expectations due to their poor offense and have scored only 68 goals in 26 games. A major contribution has come from Jordan Kyrou with nine goals to his name. With not a single player having goals in double digits, they are in a difficult situation and need attention going forward.
The defense has conceded over 3.6 goals on average per game, with the goaltenders failing to clear their lines. As they look to revive their season, we can expect changes going forward.
New York are struggling to cope with their inconsistent offense and have averaged less than three goals per game this season. Apart from Mika Zibanejad, who has over 28 goal involvements, other players have failed to convert their chances. They need improvements in their offense to have a bigger impact in the near future.
Even after averaging fewer than three goals conceded per game, they have failed to convert this into wins. The efforts of the goaltenders have been poor, which has further put them under the bus. They need changes to have better performances going forward this season.
Blues vs Rangers Betting Prediction
Both teams come with a losing streak and have been poor overall. We can expect the matchup to be a close battle and both teams can fancy their chances.
St. Louis have played well against a team with a losing record, winning six out of their last eight games. Their main concern will be their defense, which has conceded over six goals in their last two outings.
While New York are 48-23 in their last 71 games vs. a team with a losing record but have lost their last four games. They will be cautious too, given that their defense has conceded a lot of goals too.
With both defenses on the weaker line, New York's offense provides them with an advantage and we can expect them to cover the spread at the end of the game.
Prediction: Take, New York, -1.5(+143)
