Analyzing past game data reveals that the Hurricanes have been on an upward trajectory. In their last match against the Montreal Canadiens, they secured a convincing 3-0 victory, demonstrating their ability to maintain pressure throughout all periods and capitalize on powerplay opportunities with a 100 percent faceoff win rate during powerplays.


Their game against Detroit Red Wings was equally impressive, where they dominated with four goals scored in the second period alone and maintained a solid shooting percentage of 12 percent overall. Their goaltending has been exceptional as well, recording shutouts in both these matches.

However, it's not all smooth sailing for Carolina; they faced defeat when playing away against Pittsburgh Penguins despite outshooting them 39 to 22. This indicates that while their offense is creating opportunities (evidenced by their high shot count), conversion into goals will be crucial against St. Louis.


The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption after this loss and to continue building on their winning momentum from subsequent victories. The team's resilience will be tested once again as they navigate through the challenges posed by playing away from home turf.

The Enterprise Center is known for its energetic atmosphere which could play into boosting the home advantage for St. Louis Blues but expect Carolina Hurricanes to come prepared aiming to silence the crowd early with strong puck possession and capitalizing on scoring chances.


Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for April 13th at midnight UTC time on various networks including ESPN+ online or BSMW and BSSO television broadcasts.
