St. Louis BluesDrawSan Jose Sharks
The NHL matchup on October 9, 2026, features the St. Louis Blues hosting the San Jose Sharks at the Blues' home venue. With contrasting starts to the season, this game is pivotal for both teams as they navigate early standings in the NHL's 2026 campaign.
Team form
St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues currently sit 11th in the league, with a record of 1 win and 1 loss, earning just 2 points so far. Their recent performances reflect some struggles, particularly following a heavy defeat against the Colorado Avalanche, losing 6-1. While they managed a solid victory over the Dallas Stars (4-0), overall, they have averaged 1.8 goals scored per game while conceding 2.2. This indicates a need for improvement on both sides of the ice to secure results as they face tougher competition.
San Jose Sharks
In contrast, the San Jose Sharks hold a better league position at 4th, currently unbeaten in their two matches and accumulating 4 points. Their recent form has been impressive, notably thrashing the Anaheim Ducks 10-0 in their last match and defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 prior to that. Averaging 5.3 goals scored per game against 2.7 conceded, the Sharks' potent offense and relatively solid defending will pose a significant challenge for the Blues.
Head-to-head
There is no recent head-to-head data available between the St. Louis Blues and the San Jose Sharks, which may add an additional layer of unpredictability to this match.
Key factors
The Sharks' ability to put up high scoring numbers has been demonstrated and could play a crucial role in this matchup. Scouts will be observing how the Blues handle the Sharks’ attacking threats, especially after a defensive lapse in their last game versus the Avalanche. Additionally, the home advantage will be critical for St. Louis as they attempt to regain some confidence early in the season. They will need to tighten their defensive strategies and hope to harness their home crowd's support to reverse their earlier fortune. Incidentally, the Blues need to find a way to increase their goal tally, aiming for a more aggressive approach against a high-scoring opponent.
Prediction
Predictive models suggest a relatively high likelihood of an away win for the Sharks, supported by their strong offensive form and the Blues’ struggles. Expectations also point towards a game with multiple goals, indicating a potential for both teams to find the net. Given the recent performances of both sides, the outcome leans in favour of the Sharks, bolstered by their early-season momentum.
Overall, the bookmakers will likely view the Sharks as reasonably clear favourites heading into this encounter based on the current form and statistical projections.
