St. Louis BluesDrawMontreal Canadiens
St. Louis Blues host Montreal Canadiens on October 28 in an NHL matchup between two teams still finding their rhythm early in the 2026 season. Both sides sit in the middle of the standings with work to do, making this a chance for either to build momentum.
Team form
St. Louis Blues
St. Louis have been inconsistent. They won back-to-back games against Ottawa (7-2) and Columbus (5-3) but sandwiched those victories between three losses. Most recently they fell 4-5 to Minnesota on the road. Over their last five games, the Blues have scored 3.8 goals per game while conceding 4.0, suggesting their defence has been the softer point despite some offensive spark.
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal's record is similarly mixed. They beat Chicago 4-1 in their most recent outing but have lost three of their last five overall, including defeats to Washington, Nashville and Carolina. The Canadiens have averaged 3.4 goals for and 3.8 against in this stretch, showing a team that struggles to generate consistent offence while remaining vulnerable in their own end.
Head-to-head
No recent head-to-head record is available between these teams, so we cannot draw on direct history to inform the preview.
Key factors
Both teams are leaking goals at similar rates, which suggests an open game where defensive lapses could prove costly. St. Louis have shown they can score in bunches—their 7-2 win over Ottawa demonstrates offensive capability—but they have also been caught out badly, losing 1-6 to Colorado. Montreal's strength lies in their ability to bounce back; they followed a 2-5 home loss to Nashville with a 4-1 road win over Chicago, indicating resilience. The Blues' home-ice advantage is a factor, though neither team has established themselves as a dominant force yet this season.
Prediction
St. Louis enter as the favourite, holding a slight edge in recent scoring output and playing at home. The model suggests an entertaining, high-scoring affair with both teams likely to find the back of the net multiple times. Montreal's recent win over Chicago shows they can compete, but the Blues' home crowd and their capacity to score in volume give them the marginal advantage. Expect a tight contest that could go either way late.
St. Louis Blues are the more likely winner, though Montreal remain competitive. This looks set to be a fairly open game with goals likely at both ends.
