The St. Louis Blues (40-32-5) aim to complete the season sweep for their third meeting with the Anaheim Ducks (25-48-4) on Sunday, April 7 at 8:00 PM ET at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The Blues have a moneyline at -170, which shows they are slightly favored.

The Blues have lost their last two games and are 2-3 overall in their last five. Their most recent defeat was a 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks, one of the worst teams in the league.

They are 17-19-3 on the road, which does not bode well for their chances of success. However, they do not have the same issues when playing against the Ducks, and their stats look much more appealing.

The Blues consistently score 2.82 goals on 28.9 shot attempts per game. Their power play percentage is 17.6, with 42 goals scored and 44 allowed. This will be a massive advantage over the Ducks.

On defense, the Blues give up 3.04 goals on 32.2 shots per matchup. This is slightly negative compared to their offensive output, but they play better against the Ducks on paper. They also have a penalty kill percentage of 78.2, which is a bit higher than the Ducks’.

The Ducks are 1-4 in their last five games and need to shake up the remainder of the season to end on a high note. Their latest battle was a 3-1 defeat to the Seattle Kraken.

They are 11-25-2 at home, which shows they are slightly better on the road. However, they must find a better defense and keep the Blues from scoring three goals.

The Ducks are scoring 2.43 goals and firing off 26.7 shots per game. Their power plays put them at a disadvantage, as they have scored 40 goals but have allowed 85, for a power play percentage of 17.8.

On the defensive end, it looks worse as they give up 3.60 goals on 32.6 shots a game. This negative difference compared to their offense does not put them in an excellent position to win. On top of that, the penalty kill percentage is a bit lacking at 72.8.

MyBookie showcases great NHL odds, with the St. Louis Blues favored in this battle. The Blues might have a poor momentum coming into this matchup, but they have had great success against the Ducks this season.

In both meetings, the Blues have won by two goals each time, with their most recent 4-2 victory back in March. Look for the Blues to find success once more on the road.
