Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Predictions, Odds & Picks

Montreal's record challenges the home favorite

The Blues' 3-1-1 home record gives them a narrow case to win, but their -122 moneyline isn't especially attractive against a Montreal team that entered 6-3-2. The Canadiens are 2-1-1 on the road, while St. Louis is 5-5-1 overall, according to the FOX Sports / Associated Press matchup report.

This is the teams' first meeting of the 2026-27 season, so there is no current-season head-to-head result to separate them. Montreal is +102 on the moneyline, but its stronger overall record alone doesn't establish value at that price.

Missing players make the market difficult to price

Montreal listed Ivan Demidov, Lucas Condotta, Nick Suzuki, Bryce Pickford and Samuel Montembeault as out. St. Louis listed Adam Jecho, Torey Krug, Ross Johnston, Alexey Toropchenko, Tyler Tucker, Dillon Dube and Logan Mailloux as out. With both teams missing several players and no confirmed starting goaltenders available, a projected score or total bet would require too much guesswork.

The SPF total is 6.5, with the under priced at -130 and the over at +110. St. Louis is the slightly more likely winner because of its home record, but the available evidence doesn't justify laying -122 or backing either side of the total. Pass.
