St. Louis Blues vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction: Pass on Ottawa at -115
Analysis updated October 13, 2026 at 7:22 AM CDT
Ottawa enters 5-1-0, while St. Louis brings a 14-for-15 penalty kill into Tuesday’s near pick’em. The Senators are the likelier winner, but their schedule and defensive injuries make the price hard to back.
Ottawa’s defense faces a quick turnaround
Ottawa hosts St. Louis one night after a 4-1 road win over New Jersey. The official St. Louis Blues / NHL.com preview reports that defensemen Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub are sidelined, while Nikolas Matinpalo left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and had no confirmed status for Tuesday. That combination makes Ottawa difficult to back at -115 despite its 5-1-0 record.
St. Louis is coming off a 5-3 win over Columbus after starting 1-2-1. The Blues have killed 14 of 15 penalties through five games, which could limit Ottawa’s ability to exploit a tired opponent on special teams.
Betting view
Ottawa is the likelier winner at home, but its short rest and uncertain defensive lineup erase the value in a small favorite. St. Louis at -105 is not attractive without a confirmed goaltender or stronger evidence that the Blues can take advantage, so the moneyline call is Pass.
The total is 5.5, with the over at -122 and the under at +102. With no confirmed starters and little scoring data available, neither side of the total is supported.
