St. Louis Blues vs. Anaheim Ducks Predictions
The St. Louis Blues are looking to rebound after a couple of tough losses on the road, including a 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings. With an 8-7-1 record, the Blues are 10th in the Western Conference and will be relying heavily on their top scorer and playmaker, Robert Thomas, who has tallied 17 points so far this season. The Blues’ power play has struggled, and they will need to find a way to capitalize on their opportunities if they want to come out on top against the Ducks.
On the other side, the Anaheim Ducks, currently 7th in the Western Conference with a 9-8-0 record, are also coming off a loss, falling 2-1 to the Florida Panthers. The Ducks will be looking to their leading scorer, Frank Vatrano, who has been on a hot streak with 17 points, to spark their offense. Anaheim has been more successful on the power play than St. Louis, which could play a significant role in this matchup. However, they’ll have to tighten up defensively, having allowed 3.12 goals per game.
This game will feature a key matchup between the Blues’ offensive capabilities and the Ducks’ defensive resilience. Both teams have players capable of turning the game on its head, and it will be interesting to see which team can take control of the game’s pace. With both teams sitting in the middle of their respective divisions, a win here could provide a much-needed boost as they look to climb the standings.
St. Louis Blues vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick
The Anaheim Ducks moneyline bet is the more compelling option when considering the current dynamics of both teams. Despite the St. Louis Blues having a historical edge over the Ducks in recent matchups, the Ducks have shown a stronger performance this season, particularly in their offensive play. Frank Vatrano’s scoring prowess, combined with Ryan Strome’s playmaking abilities, gives the Ducks a significant threat upfront. Additionally, the Ducks’ power play has been more effective than the Blues’, which could be a deciding factor in a game that may come down to special teams. The Ducks’ home advantage at the Honda Center, where they have won 4 out of 9 games, also tips the scales in their favor, especially considering the Blues’ less impressive road record of 2 wins in 8 games.
Furthermore, the Blues are entering this game on the back of a two-game losing streak, including a heavy loss to the Kings, which may have impacted their confidence. While the Blues have Robert Thomas leading their charge, the Ducks’ overall team performance and the recent trends suggest they are better positioned to take this game. The Ducks’ resilience at home and their ability to bounce back after losses, as evidenced by their previous six-game winning streak, indicate a team that knows how to respond under pressure. Given these factors, the Anaheim Ducks moneyline bet is a solid choice for this matchup.
