Blues vs. Penguins Preview, Prediction
The St. Louis Blues will look to snap a three-game skid when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight. St. Louis has dropped back-to-back high-scoring contests, falling 6-4 to the Red Wings and 7-4 to the Mammoth before tightening things up in a 2-1 loss to the Kings.
The Penguins have dominated this matchup in recent years, going 7-1-1 over their last nine games against the Blues. Pittsburgh has also earned points in 12 of the last 15 meetings (10-3-2) and has won five straight home games in the series dating back to 2019.
Pittsburgh’s offense has been one of the NHL’s most dangerous units to start the season. The Penguins rank third in goals scored (32) and own the league’s second-best power play at 33.3%. Fourteen different players have scored, and seven of them already have multiple goals — a sign of depth and balance throughout the lineup.
While the “Early High Profile Unders” system developed by Evan Abrams highlights that early-season NHL games often stay below inflated totals due to tighter systems and fresh goaltending, this matchup shapes up differently. Both teams have been involved in several high-event games to start the year, and Pittsburgh’s relentless offensive pressure should continue against a Blues team that’s allowed 15 goals in its last three outings.
With St. Louis struggling to keep pucks out of its own net and the Penguins thriving in the offensive zone, expect both sides to contribute to a lively scoreboard. Even if early-season unders have been profitable across the league, this particular spot leans toward the exception rather than the rule.
Best Bet: Under 6 (-110, bet365)
