Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues Prediction & Picks, October 6, 2026

St. Louis Blues are looking strong lately, winning 6 out of their last 10 games. They seem to be in better form compared to the Chicago Blackhawks, who have only won 3 of their last 10. Playing at the United Center, the Blackhawks will have some home advantage, but the Blues have been performing well on the road. One thing to watch out for is how close the teams are overall; the Blackhawks could surprise with a strong showing. Still, with the Blues' current winning streak and solid play, betting on them to win seems like a smart choice.

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues: Under 5.5 Total Goals (+100)

For this game, we need both teams to score fewer than 6 goals combined. The Chicago Blackhawks have had a tough time finding the net lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. On the other hand, the St. Louis Blues have been a bit better with 6 wins in their last 10, but they also might struggle against a solid defense. Both teams have players who shoot more with their left side, which can affect goal-scoring chances. With the teams so evenly matched and the game's total expected to be close to 6 goals, there's a good chance we stay under 5.5. Just remember, the risk is that both teams could surprise and score more than expected.

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues: St Louis Blues 3-Way Moneyline (+120)

The St. Louis Blues have been performing better lately, winning 6 out of their last 10 games. On the other hand, the Chicago Blackhawks have only managed to win 3 of their last 10. The Blues seem to be finding some rhythm, which is important as they face a Chicago team that has struggled recently at home. However, with the Blues showing better form, they could take this win. One concrete risk is that the Blackhawks are playing at home, which can sometimes give teams an extra boost. Still, the Blues have a good chance to come out on top.

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues: Joel Hofer Over 22.5 Saves (-110)

The Chicago Blackhawks have struggled lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. With their current form, they might not create many scoring chances against the St. Louis Blues, who have won 6 of their last 10. This could mean more shots on goal for the Blues, putting pressure on goalie Joel Hofer to make saves. Betting on Hofer to make over 22.5 saves seems promising. The odds are close to even, showing it's a tough call. The biggest risk here is that the game could be tightly contested, which might limit the number of shots he faces. Still, with the Blues' recent success, Hofer could see plenty of action.

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues: Spencer Knight Over 19.5 Saves (-244)

The Chicago Blackhawks are struggling with only three wins in their last ten games, which means they might give up a lot of shots against the St. Louis Blues, who have been winning more often lately. Spencer Knight, the Blackhawks' goalie, could see a heavy workload in this matchup, especially since the Blues have been scoring well. Betting on Knight to make over 19.5 saves looks promising because he'll likely face plenty of chances from the Blues' left-handed shooters. However, a big risk is that if the Blackhawks can tighten up their defense, he might not get as many opportunities to make those saves. Still, with the way both teams are playing, this bet has a solid chance.

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues: Anton Frondell Over 5.5 Shots on Goal (+1900)

The Chicago Blackhawks are facing off against the St. Louis Blues at the United Center. The Blues have been playing better recently, winning 6 of their last 10 games. The Blackhawks have only managed to win 3 times in the same stretch, so they might struggle to keep pace. Anton Frondell has a good chance to take a lot of shots in this matchup, especially since the Blackhawks will want to make a statement at home. Frondell is a genuine long shot to hit over 5.5 shots on goal, but the opportunity is there. With the Blues' defense being a little shaky, he could find openings. The big risk is that both teams are pretty close in skill right now, which could lead to fewer chances than expected.
