Pick, Moneyline (-292): A-
Robert Thomas has been a bright spot for St. Louis, as the Blues enter this matchup on a three-game win streak while the Blackhawks have dropped four straight. Despite an ongoing injury to Jordan Kyrou, the Blues expect to capitalize on their significant home-ice edge, having historically dominated Chicago within the conference. The Blackhawks, missing key defensive pieces and struggling to regain momentum, appear vulnerable against a well-rounded Blues lineup. With a moneyline at -292, bettors must risk $292 to net $100, but the strength of this St. Louis squad justifies the expense, earning this pick an A- rating.
Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (+110) - B+

Connor Bedard continues to dazzle for the Blackhawks, but Chicago’s defensive woes have mirrored their three-game losing skid, a worrying sign against a St. Louis Blues squad riding a two-game win streak. Team announcements confirm the Hawks will be without a key forward due to injury, while the Blues boast a healthy offensive core led by Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas. Historically, these Central Division matchups often generate a flurry of goals, and with Chicago desperate to snap its slide, the ice could open up on both ends. This wager is graded a B+ for its strong likelihood to surpass the 5.5-goal mark and a worthwhile payout if the offensive sparks ignite on Saturday afternoon.
Puckline Pick: St. Louis Blues, -1.5 (-105) - A-

Connor Bedard is determined to spark a rare Chicago rebound, but the Blackhawks, currently 20-39-9 and stuck in a three-game losing skid, face a surging St. Louis squad sitting at 34-28-7. We’ve confirmed that Bedard and Seth Jones remain active for this matchup, but Chicago’s roster recently lost a key forward who is sidelined with a lower-body issue, while St. Louis welcomes back Jordan Kyrou, bolstering a team riding a two-game win streak. Historically, the Blues have outmuscled the Blackhawks in several recent meetings, capitalizing on both physicality and spot-on goaltending. Betting on St. Louis at -1.5 offers a solid payoff with an A- confidence grade, reflecting a strong chance to cover the spread for a rewarding monetary return.
