Blue Jackets vs. Blues Prediction: Rest Favors St. Louis, but -130 Is a Pass

Analysis updated October 10, 2026 at 9:21 AM CDT

Columbus faces a quick turnaround after Friday's shootout win, giving St. Louis an edge that isn't strong enough to justify the SPF moneyline.

Columbus faces the tougher schedule

The St. Louis Blues / NHL.com game preview reports that Columbus is playing on consecutive nights after Friday's 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh. That rest advantage makes St. Louis the more likely winner at home, where the Blues are -130 on the SPF moneyline and Columbus is +110.

St. Louis has killed 13 of 14 penalties this season, a 92.9% rate that the club ranked third in the NHL. Connor McMichael also leads the Blues with four points through four games. Those early results support the home side, but the sample is small.

The price is the problem

Columbus forward Charlie Coyle has three assists in three games and recorded seven shots against Pittsburgh on Friday. St. Louis has also gone just 5-7-1 in its past 13 meetings with Columbus, including 3-3-0 in the past six at Enterprise Center. That history argues against treating the Blues as a comfortable favorite.

Blues forward Dillon Dube is doubtful while being evaluated for a possible neck injury, and no probable goalies or confirmed lineups are available. St. Louis is the pick to win because it has the better rest situation, but the missing information leaves too little support for laying -130. Pass.
