St. Louis Blues
Moneyline Pick: St. Louis (-178): Grade of Pick B

Jordan Kyrou, confirmed active on the latest roster check, continues to spark the Blues’ offense as they ride a three-game winning streak, while the Red Wings limp into this matchup on a brief two-game skid. With Brayden Schenn listed as day-to-day but potentially ready to suit up, St. Louis aims to maintain its historical dominance over Detroit on home ice. Meanwhile, the Red Wings, led by Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, have minimal injury concerns, yet they’ve struggled recently when visiting Central Division foes. Factoring in both teams’ momentum, short-term health, and past head-to-head results, the home side still gets the nod. This prediction receives a B for solid likelihood and decent payoff at -178. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (+110) - A

Dylan Larkin’s offensive leadership has been a bright spot for the Red Wings, who are looking to snap a two-game slide against a Blues squad riding a three-game winning streak. St. Louis may need to fill the gap if Jordan Kyrou remains sidelined, but their depth scoring has carried them throughout the Western Conference battle this season. Detroit and St. Louis have historically produced high-scoring affairs in recent matchups, suggesting this encounter should eclipse the 5.5 mark with a respectable payout for those willing to back the Over. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Puckline Pick: St. Louis Blues, -1.5 (-150) - B+

Jordan Kyrou has shown inspired form lately, anchoring the Blues through a modest two-game winning streak while the Red Wings struggle to snap their three-game slide. A quick glance at the active rosters reveals the Wings could be hampered by a nagging injury in their defensive pairings, which often spells trouble against a St. Louis squad that has enjoyed an edge in recent conference battles. Despite the Blues’ superior record and momentum, this puckline bet warrants a solid B+ for its decent return on investment, given the consistent offensive punch from the Blues’ top six skaters combined with Detroit’s current defensive setbacks. Odds and availability are subject to change.
