St. Louis vs Anaheim Prediction 2 December 2025
🔊 St. Louis are set to host Anaheim on their home ice as part of the NHL regular season. The hosts have found a decent rhythm in the second half of November, but it hasn't been enough for a significant push up the standings. Meanwhile, the visitors have been alternating between wins and losses, struggling to maintain their spot in the Western Conference's playoff bracket. The teams approach this head-to-head clash in starkly contrasting form.
Head-to-Head
In 2025 (but not in the current season), the rivals clashed twice, with St. Louis coming out on top both times, securing victories in regulation. It's worth highlighting the intense nature of these head-to-head matchups during this period, as well as their impressive scoring output. Over 120 minutes of game time, the teams combined for a total of 16 goals.
Head-to-head statistics St. Louis - Anaheim
St. Louis Blues Team Overview
Jim Montgomery's squad managed to re-enter the race in the second half of November. The hosts have secured just four wins in their last ten games, but they've only lost twice in regulation during this stretch, consistently picking up points. While reaching the top eight was a tall order, the fact that they've made a push is undeniable. However, they continue to struggle offensively. With just 68 goals scored, they rank among the lowest in the conference. Improving in this area is crucial for the team moving forward.
Match Results: St. Louis Blues
Anaheim Ducks Team Overview
The California club has slightly slowed down in the second half of November. In their last nine matches, the visitors have suffered five defeats, barely holding onto their spot among the Western Conference leaders. Despite this, there are no concerns about the team's scoring ability. They've already netted 89 goals, which ranks as the second-highest in the conference. However, defensive errors are becoming a recurring issue. They've conceded 78 goals, more than any other team in the top eight. If this trend continues, it could undermine all the positive aspects they've demonstrated in the first half of the regular season.

🏒 Projected Lineups
St. Louis: Hofer - Parayko, Broberg - Kyrou, Thomas, Neighbours
Anaheim: Husso - Helleson, Lacombe - Terry, Carlsson, Gauthier
🥅 Goalies
St. Louis goaltender Joel Hofer has been seeing more ice time, and it's certainly benefiting the Canadian. On average, he saves just 87.9% of shots, but he's already secured two shutouts. Nevertheless, his progress is crucial for a team still aiming to compete for the Stanley Cup.
Anaheim's Ville Husso has returned to the big stage after a lengthy hiatus. The former Detroit player has only played one game this season and didn't leave a strong impression. The Finnish netminder averages an 85.2% save rate, but his primary role is to back up Lukáš Dostál, and they hope he fulfills this role effectively.
Editor's Prediction
The hosts are riding a wave of confidence. After a shaky start to the season, they've managed to turn things around and are looking to the future with cautious optimism. Impressively, they've only suffered one regulation-time loss in their last seven home games, a stark contrast to the visitors' less impressive away record. Anaheim endured three consecutive road defeats in the latter half of November alone, which could lead to a high-scoring affair in Missouri. Our pick is over 5.5 goals.No comments
