Blues Won Their Last Game
The Blues won their last game before the break against the Chicago Blackhawks, although they weren’t all that impressive in that game, at least with the defense. The Blues gave up five goals, including three in the third period, and it took until a shootout to come out on top. Jordan Binnington was in goal, and he wasn’t all that good, saving only 16 of 21 shots he faced. There were five different goal scorers for the Blues. Before that last win, the Blues had lost two games in a row.
The Blues haven’t been all that impressive, and trusting them has been a problem, making them a hard team to bet for and against. The Blues are averaging 2.69 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.05 goals per game. The offense is ranked 27th in the league, while the defense is ranked 20th. Jordan Binnington started for Team Canada on Thursday, so it’s unclear if he’ll be the one to start in this game. Overall, he does sit with a 15-19-4 record and gives up 2.89 goals per game. Alexandre Texier and Tyler Tucker are both questionable for this game.
St. Louis Blues vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction
Will it be Binnington in goal? Who knows at this point? It doesn’t make much of a difference, and St. Louis isn’t going to find any success. The Blues’ offense has been a major issue all season, so don’t be fooled by their last game, where they beat up on a terrible Blackhawks defense. The same thing isn’t going to happen here. The Jets have the top defense in the entire NHL, giving up only 2.39 goals per game. The Blues aren’t going to score more than a goal, and the Jets will score at least two You must lay a little juice, but the correct play is with the Jets. You aren’t going to get the Jets at this number much the rest of the season, so when it happens, you have to take advantage.
