Winnipeg Jets vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction: Pass at St. Louis -148

Analysis updated October 20, 2026 at 7:25 AM CDT

The SPF market makes St. Louis the likelier winner, but the available evidence does not support a bet on the moneyline or total.

Winnipeg's top scorers test a short-handed defense

CBS Sports / Field Level Media reports that both teams enter Tuesday on two-game losing streaks, while Winnipeg has dropped three of its past four. The Jets will also be without defenseman Josh Morrissey, who was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. His absence favors St. Louis, but the Blues' -148 moneyline already asks bettors to pay for a home favorite.

Winnipeg still has the scorers to challenge that price. Kyle Connor has eight goals and 11 points in eight games, Cole Perfetti has five goals and eight points, and Mark Scheifele has eight points during a five-game point streak. Mason McTavish leads St. Louis with five goals and nine points in eight games and has recorded a point in six straight. Those productive forwards leave little basis for treating either side as a dependable bet.

Betting outlook

The starting goalies aren't confirmed. Stuart Skinner is 3-0-2 with a 2.76 goals-against average and .906 save percentage in five games for Winnipeg. Joel Hofer has a 2.43 goals-against average and the same .906 save percentage across five appearances for St. Louis. Until the assignments are known, neither the Blues at -148 nor the Jets at +124 offers a clear edge.

The total is 5.5, with the over priced at -120 and the under at +100. The uncertain goalie matchup and lack of broader defensive data make either side of that total a pass. The listed 50-50 betting split is a default reading, so it doesn't provide a useful market signal.
