In this article, we will formulate a St Louis Blues vs NY Rangers Prediction for this NHL game on Sunday, December 15th, at the Rogers Arena.
Blues Making Moves
Before Saturday night’s game against the Dallas Stars, the Blues really improved their team bringing in Cam Fowler in a trade. Te hope is he’s going to really help improve the defense and make this team better. On Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, the Blues scored three goals but the defense gave up four. Jordan Binnington was in goal and he saved 27 of the 31 shots that he faced. In this game the defense is going to need to be better. The Blues on the season is averaging 2.63 goals while their defense is giving up 3.13 goals per game. The offense is ranked 25th while the defense is anked 20th.
Rangers Look to Bounce Back
The Rangers on Saturday faced off against the LA Kings and they didn’t play well enough. The Rangers scored only one goal while the defense gave up five and that led to the defeat. Filip Chytil scored the only goal for the Rangers. Jonathan Quick saved all 11 shots, but Igor Shesterkin wasn’t good and he saved only 16 of the 21 shotts that he faced. The Rangers are averaging 3.1 goals while their defense is giving up 3.03 gaols per game. The offense is ranked 14th in the league while the defense is ranked 16th. Artemi Panarin has scored 15 goals and added 21 assists.
St. Louis Blues vs NY Rangers Prediction
This is probably my least favorite play on the board in terms of the NHL games on Satureday, but I do believe the Rangers have what it takes to bounce back. I just really don’t trust the Blues offense that is averaging only 2.63 goals per game and their lack of scoring is going to be the difference here as the Rangers are going to end up on top. Back the Rangers on the money line to cash here.
