St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 17, 2026
The St. Louis Blues will beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 in our October 17 forecast, with their 16 goals over the preceding three games providing the strongest reason to favor them. Confidence is low because Nashville’s recent comeback and unresolved personnel questions keep the margin narrow. Neither the supplied puck-line prices nor the total of 6 offers a compelling wager; the official recommendation is Pass.
St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators prediction and best bet
St. Louis is the pick in this 2026-27 NHL matchup, but the projected advantage is small. Its recent scoring gives the Blues a credible route to a road victory. Nashville’s three-game winless stretch offers another reason to lean toward St. Louis, although two of those defeats came beyond regulation.
The best betting decision is Pass. A one-goal forecast fits poorly with St. Louis -1.5 (+226), while Nashville +1.5 (-275) carries a substantial cost. The total needs a separate judgment: a five-goal projection suggests the Under, but the Blues’ recent offensive output makes that position fragile.
