St Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

For Carolina to win tonight, they need to keep their strong form going against St. Louis. The Hurricanes have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. They also bring a solid defensive game by blocking shots and landing hits, which will help them control the pace against the Blues. St. Louis has been decent too, winning 5 of their last 10, but they struggle a bit with their shot-blocking and hitting compared to the league average. This matchup is very close, and the risk is that the Blues could surprise at home. Still, Carolina's recent success makes them the likely pick tonight.

St Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes: St Louis Blues +2.5 Puck Lines (-333)

The St. Louis Blues need to keep the game close against the Carolina Hurricanes to cover the +2.5 line. The Blues have won 5 out of their last 10 games, showing they can compete, even if they've struggled a bit. They also have a strong defense, blocking 11.4 shots per game, which is close to the league average. Carolina has been on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games. However, the Blues are at home, and they usually play tougher in front of their fans. The biggest risk is that the Hurricanes might take control with their scoring. Still, the Blues have what it takes to keep it close enough to cover the spread.

St Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes: Joel Hofer Over 26.5 Saves (-115)

The odds for Joel Hofer to make over 26.5 saves sit at -115, which suggests a pretty even chance of this happening. Hofer has a tough matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, who have been strong lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. The Hurricanes like to shoot, which means Hofer will likely be busy in the net. However, the Blues have been solid lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. St. Louis does tend to block a fair number of shots, but they still allow a decent amount of chances. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are close in terms of overall performance, which could lead to fewer shots than expected. Still, with the Hurricanes' aggressive style, Hofer should see plenty of action.

St Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes: Seth Jarvis Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+130)

Seth Jarvis has been on a roll lately, and he's really finding his groove with the Carolina Hurricanes, who have won eight of their last ten games. He's been getting plenty of opportunities to shoot, and with the way St. Louis blocks shots less frequently than most teams, it feels like he can easily land over 2.5 shots in this matchup. The Blues have won five of their last ten, but their defense has struggled a bit to keep shots down. Even though the game is at home for St. Louis, they have allowed opponents to get their shots off regularly. The biggest risk here is how closely matched these teams can be, but overall, it looks promising for Jarvis to get those shots on goal tonight.
