Blues vs Canadiens Key Stats

The Blues' offense has done well lately to increase their goals tally to 122 in 39 games. The likes of Jordan Kyrou and Pavel Buchnevich will lead the charge and have over 75 gaol contributions in between them and will have a big role to play in the upcoming game too.

Their defense has been poor overall and has conceded over three goals per game on average this season. Their goaltenders need to improve along their defensive line as they have failed miserably to keep it clean at the back. We can expect certain changes as they look to sustain their march into the season.

The Habs have been weak on offense, having failed to score enough goals this season. Efforts from the likes of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield contributed with over 60 goal contributions in between them.

Their defense has performed poorly, with 3.8 goals conceded per game on offense. Goaltenders have failed to perform their duties and look vulnerable due to their poor defensive line. The team has to find something to magically change their defensive setup going forward this season.

Blues vs Canadiens Betting Prediction

The game looks in favor of the Blues due to better team strength and a winning record away from home. They have scored goals lately and the defense has shown improvements, giving them enough to challenge Habs.

The Habs, on the other hand, have poor organization and are under severe pressure due to their losing record. They haven't got enough wins at home, which takes away their comfort in playing at home.

With all the stats and performances indicating the Blues win by a comfortable margin.

Prediction: St. Louis Blues, ML(-160)
