Ottawa Senators vs. St. Louis Blues Predictions

The St. Louis Blues are entering this game on a four-game losing streak, a situation that has led to a recent coaching change with hopes of revitalizing the team. The Blues have struggled with their power play, ranking second-worst in the NHL, and will be looking to turn that around under the guidance of interim head coach Drew Bannister. Despite their recent form, the Blues have seen strong performances from players like Robert Thomas, who leads the team with 10 goals and 17 assists. The Blues will be looking to leverage their home-ice advantage at the Enterprise Center to get back on track.

The Ottawa Senators, on the other hand, are coming off a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes but have won three of their last five games. The Senators have been led by the impressive play of Tim Stutzle, who tops the team with 26 points, and Brady Tkachuk, who leads with 13 goals. Ottawa’s power play has been more effective than St. Louis’, which could play a key role in this matchup. The Senators will be looking to their top performers and a disciplined game to steal a win on the road.

This game could come down to goaltending and special teams, with both teams looking to improve their standings. The Senators will need to be wary of the Blues’ potential resurgence under a new coach, while the Blues must find a way to contain Ottawa’s offensive threats. This matchup promises to be an intriguing battle as both teams fight to gain momentum heading into the latter part of the season.

Ottawa Senators vs. St. Louis Blues Pick

The St. Louis Blues, despite their recent struggles, are poised for a turnaround with the recent coaching change. Historically, teams often experience a ‘new coach bump,’ and the Blues have the talent on their roster to capitalize on this change in leadership. With players like Robert Thomas leading the team in points, and the potential for a revitalized power play under interim head coach Drew Bannister, the Blues have the tools to overcome their four-game losing streak. Additionally, the Blues’ home record is stronger than their overall performance this season, suggesting they could leverage the home-ice advantage at the Enterprise Center to secure a win against the Senators.

While the Ottawa Senators have shown they can score and have a better power play percentage, the Blues’ need for a win is critical to stop their slide in the standings. The historic head-to-head shows that the home team has won half of the recent matchups, and with the Blues playing at home, this trend could continue. Considering the urgency for the Blues to respond to their coaching change positively, and the fact that the Senators are just below .500 on the road, the St. Louis Blues moneyline bet is the more compelling choice for this game.

The Pick: St. Louis Blues -105. (BetRivers)
