Blues vs Predators

Jordan Binnington’s recent consistency anchors a St. Louis squad riding a two-game winning streak, while Nashville has stumbled through its last three contests. With Roman Josi still uncertain in the Predators’ lineup and the team struggling to capitalize on scoring chances, the visitor’s offense could catch them off guard. Historically, St. Louis has fared well in recent division matchups, and with the Predators’ defensive core lacking its usual spark, the Blues appear poised to outlast their Central division rivals. This wager offers a strong return for its risk profile, earning a solid B+ in both likelihood and potential monetary reward.

Roman Josi continues to anchor the Predators’ backline heading into this crucial matchup with the surging St. Louis Blues, who have rattled off a two-game winning streak while Nashville is battling through a three-game slide. Filip Forsberg, who missed time earlier this month, appears back on the roster per team updates, and he’ll look to reverse the Preds’ fortunes in a building where the Blues have historically feasted on visiting teams from the Central. Despite a few minor injuries on the Predators’ second line, both clubs’ recent resurgence in offensive production suggests a high-scoring tilt. Overall, the pick is graded a B for its decent likelihood to cash and a moderate payout.

Jordan Binnington and the 38-28-7 Blues enter this matchup on a three-game winning streak, looking to capitalize on their surging form as they face the 27-36-8 Predators, who have dropped their last two contests. While key defenseman Roman Josi remains sidelined for Nashville, St. Louis appears largely healthy, with forwards Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou continuing to spark the offense. Historically, the Blues have been tough on many Central Division foes, including the Predators, in recent campaigns. Given this momentum, the injury setbacks for Nashville, and St. Louis’s favorable track record in conference play, a puckline victory for the Blues rates an A for confidence and high monetary value if successful.
