Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Moneyline Prediction

The Blues are coming off a 4-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, a game in which they looked outmatched at both ends of the ice. The defeat snapped their brief two-game winning streak. St. Louis’s recent results have been underwhelming, as the team has lost three of its last five outings (2-3-0) and six of its last 10 (4-5-1).

The Canadiens haven’t fared much better overall, but their recent form has been stronger than the Blues’, with five wins over their previous 10 games (5-3-2), including two in a row and three in their last four. They secured a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets in their most recent outing.

Both teams have benefited from strong goaltending recently, so their offences may need to make the difference. With that in mind, the Canadiens have looked sharper than the Blues lately. St. Louis has scored just 2.8 goals per game over its last five, compared with Montreal’s 3.4.

With five wins in their last seven outings and back-to-back road wins, the Canadiens appear to be trending in the right direction and could take advantage of the Blues’ recent rough struggles.

Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Projected Starting Goalies

Both netminders have performed better than expected this season, with Hofer posting a career-high .917 save percentage and Fowler allowing no more than three goals in any of his six starts this season.

Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Player Prop

Cole Caufield has taken on a bigger offensive role in the absence of Nick Suzuki (upper body) and Ivan Demidov (lower body). He’s coming off a two-assist performance in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Jets. Caufield will face a Blues defence that has allowed the 16th-most shots against this season.

He has recorded 10 points in his first 11 appearances this season (six goals, four assists) and has registered at least two points in four of his last six. As the first-line left winger at both even strength and on the power play with an average of 19:01 TOI per game, Caufield is a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet.

Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Total Goals Prediction

The Canadiens rank 16th in scoring, averaging 3.09 goals per game, while the Blues sit slightly higher in 13th place at 3.18. Their defensive metrics are similar, too, with Montreal allowing 3.27 goals (21st) compared with St. Louis’s 3.18 (16th).

The Canadiens’ games have averaged 6.36 total goals this season. Their last four contests, as well as six of their last seven, have featured six goals or fewer in regulation. This trend has been less pronounced for the Blues, although two of their last three have finished below the 6.5-goal line. St. Louis is also averaging 6.36 total goals per game this season.

With both teams ranking in the middle of the pack in goals scored and both projected starting goaltenders posting strong save percentages, the under remains a realistic possibility.

Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Team News and Injury Report

Montreal Canadiens Team News and Injury Report

The Canadiens will be shorthanded offensively, with Suzuki and Demidov both out, leaving Montreal without two of its top forwards.

Suzuki recorded a career-high 101 points in the 2025-26 regular season, while Demidov tallied 62 points in his first full year in the NHL. Their absences are expected to affect Montreal’s offence significantly. Both are top-six forwards when healthy, so Oliver Kapanen and Josh Anderson have been forced to take on bigger roles.

This will be the Canadiens’ third consecutive road outing on a four-game trip that concludes in Dallas on Thursday. They enter this matchup with just one day of rest.

St. Louis Blues Team News and Injury Report

The Blues have seven players on their injury list ahead of Tuesday’s matchup, although most are depth players who are unlikely to have significant roles in the near future.

The most notable absence is Logan Mailloux, who would’ve featured on the bottom defensive pairing if healthy. Justin Barron and Brandon Carlo have been playing in his absence.

This matchup against Montreal is the Blues’ fourth of an ongoing five-game homestand, during which they’ve gone 2-1-0. They’ve had two days of rest before this meeting.
