Team Records, Stats, and Prediction
The 2025-26 NHL season is in full swing, and both teams have had solid starts as they jockey for playoff position.
St. Louis Blues (3-4-1)
The St. Louis Blues enter tonight’s game looking to bounce back after a tough 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend. Despite the loss, the Blues’ offense has been clicking, and their power play has shown flashes of brilliance. They are a slight -120 road favorite, indicating oddsmakers believe in their ability to win in a tough building.
- Last Game: 6-4 Loss vs. Detroit Red Wings
- Leading Scorers: Robert Thomas (1 goals, 5 assists, 6 points), Jordan Kyrou (2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points)
- Key Injuries: Forward Alexandre Texier is listed as questionable (illness) and will be a game-time decision.
Pittsburgh Penguins (6-2-1)
The Pittsburgh Penguins are flying high, riding a two-game winning streak that includes a tough 5-4 (OT) loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. The veteran core is proving they still have plenty left in the tank, with Sidney Crosby starting the season on a point-per-game pace. They are a dangerous home team and will look to defend their ice against a heavy Blues lineup.
- Last Game: 3-2 Win vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
- Leading Scorers: Sidney Crosby (6 goals, 5 assists, 11 points), Evgeni Malkin (2 goals, 12 assists, 14 points)
- Key Injuries: Backup goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic remains on Injured Reserve (lower body).
Game Score Prediction
This matchup is a tight one. The betting odds reflect this, with the Blues as a -120 favorite and the Over/Under set at a high 6.5 goals. The Blues’ offense is potent, but they just gave up six goals. The Penguins are at home and have been finding ways to win.
Given the high-octane offenses and the 6.5 total, we should be in for a high-scoring affair. I’m leaning toward the home team to squeak out a win that just hits the over.
Prediction: Penguins 4, Blues 3
