Boston Bruins vs St. Louis Blues - Repeat from 49 years ago

The NHL Stanley Cup Finals 2019 feature - once again - a very unlikely participant from the Western Conference and somewhat of a surprising representative from the East. While eastern Boston Bruins are a regular contender, western St. Louis Blues make their first visit to Stanley Cup Finals in 49 years. Not to mention they were dead last around Christmastime.

Blues were considered outsiders and underdog in each of their playoff-series, but they went on to sensationally beat Winnipeg Jets in the first round and then Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks on their way to Stanley Cup finals. The proper Cinderella story in the making, Blues was ready throw in the towel half-way through the season, making most of their players available for transfer and changing a head coach after a terrible start. Their flight took off around New Years and since then they've been virtually unstoppable.

Rookie goalkeeper Jordan Binnington has had an unbelievable season so far, stepping in for shaky Jake Allen. Blues top forwards Jaden Schwartz, Vladimir Tarasenko, Brayden Schenn and Ryan O'Reilly have stepped up their game, but overall Blues' success is based on solidifying the defense and playing a hard-nosed, never-give-up-style of hockey - a lot similar to that of traditional Boston Bruins.

If Binnington has been solid, Tuukka Rask for Boston has been a wall. Not much goes past him and with Boston defense able to shut down most of the critical chances, it is extremely difficult to score against the B's. They've allowed only 1.94 goals a game, while Blues' number is 2.53. Bruins might have had a bit easier route to the finals than Blues. After narrowly beating Leafs in seven games, they trumped Columbus 4-2 and then swept Carolina Hurricanes in four games. Safe to say Boston are on top of their game, with first line of David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand matching the exact point tally of the Blues' first line.

Both teams have big and strong defense, and both teams play hard. Bruins have a small edge on puck-moving d-men, as both Torey Krug and Charlie McAvoy have the skill and pace to support the offense. Blues' top defensemen are more of an old-school giants, as Alex Pietrangelo and Colton Parayko move the puck fast and shoot hard, but are probably not as mobile. In offense, it’s as even as can be: both teams have scored the exact same amount of goals.

Overall it’s difficult to find weak points in either of the teams or make a big difference in any aspect. Boston does have the home advantage and more experience from the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, but Blues' top players are definitely not wet behind the ears either.

Accuscore simulations

In Accuscore simulations Boston has been a bit underrated throughout the season, while faith in Blues stood quite strong through the struggles. In the NHL Stanley Cup Finals 2019, Boston is a slight favorite but Blues is very likely to make it an extremely tough matchup.

Accuscore's NHL Stanley Cup Finals 2019 simulations predict the Bruins to win the Cup with 56% probability, while 44% goes for the Blues. The series goes to 7 games with 31% probability and Boston wins the series in 7 games with 17.4% likelyhood.

Accuscore vs odds

Vegas odds indicate Bruins to be favored for about 60% so compared to simulations, thats not a good bet. The Blues however receive odds of +140 | 2.40 which means that compared to Accuscore simulations, Blues winning the Cup has some value, if only a bit more than 2%. Looking at quite likely even series, it might be worth considering betting on reaching game 7, which in Accuscore simulations happens with 31% probability

What is Accuscore?

Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media.
