St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators Predictions

The pick'em price fits the matchup

St. Louis and Nashville meet at 1 p.m. ET on November 7 with both teams priced at -110 on the SPF moneyline. Nashville enters after a 3-2 overtime win at Colorado on November 5, while St. Louis is coming off a 5-4 overtime loss at New Jersey. Those results favor Nashville slightly, but they don't justify backing the Predators at an even price.

NHL.com projects Dylan Holloway, Robert Thomas and Jimmy Snuggerud on the Blues' first line. Steven Stamkos, Ryan O'Reilly and Mavrik Bourque form Nashville's projected top unit. Both clubs could keep their November 5 lineups, but the combinations haven't been confirmed.

Goalie uncertainty limits the betting case

Neither starting goalie has been confirmed. NHL.com lists Joel Hofer and Jordan Binnington for St. Louis, with Juuse Saros and Justus Annunen available for Nashville. That uncertainty makes the 5.5 total difficult to assess at Over -130 or Under +110.

Nashville's Jonathan Marchessault is expected to miss a third consecutive game with a lower-body injury. William Trudeau is also listed as injured for the Predators. The Blues' injury list includes Tyler Tucker, Dillon Dube and Logan Mailloux, leaving both teams with availability concerns but no supported basis for measuring a clear advantage.

The Blues are listed at -1.5 and the Predators at +1.5, but SPF spread prices are unavailable. With no confirmed goalie matchup and no clear moneyline edge, the wager is Pass.
