Florida Panthers vs St. Louis Blues Picks and Prediction for Saturday November 14 2026

The Florida Panthers are going on the road to take on the Saint Louis Blues at the Enterprise Center on Saturday night at 7 PM EST. Both of these teams were able to pick up wins on Thursday night and now are looking to continue the winning ways. The main difference between these teams is the fact that the Blues are relying on their defensive showing and the Panthers are relying on their offensive showing.

Florida Is Finding Ways to Win Again

Florida is coming to this game here with an impressive 11-7-2 record overall, but when playing on the road the Florida team has been close to the five hundred mark at 6-5-2. Now, the good news is the last 10 games the Panthers have been able to pick up 6 wins on the year. The last game for the Panthers was a 5-4 win over the Detroit Red Wings and thats coming after getting a nice win over the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 4-1. 

The Panthers offense is playing good with 3.25 goals per game on a total of 29.5 shots on goal. THe defense for the Panthers is playing good, but is not nearly as good as it used to be giving up 3 goals per gam. The power play for the Panthers has looked good at times with 23.8% conversion rate, but the penalty kill has been very impressive killing off 86.3% of the power plays faced.

Florida is still dealing with some significant injuries and long term losses. Aleksander Barkov remains sidelined with a knee injury, Brad Marchand has also been out with a knee problem, and Jonah Gadjovich is unavailable with a neck injury. These are some big name players and are ones that have been the heart and soul of the offensive efforts in the past.

St. Louis Is Getting Results by Keeping Games Tight

The Blues are sitting just over the five hundred mark on the season with a 9-8-2 overall mark, but when they are playing at home the Blues have posted a 5-2-1 record. The Blues were able to get a win over the Red Wings on Tuesday by a score of 3-2 which was able to snap the win streak. Now, on Thursday night the Blues played against the Mammoth and had to go to a shootout before getting the 1-0 win.

St. Louis is scoring 2.79 goals per game and the defense has been impressive giving up only 2.89. The Blues power play has converted at a clip of 20.0% of its opportunities. The penalty kill is killing off 86.0% of the power plays faced. The numbers are not ones that stand out from the rest of the pack of the NHL, but will definitely help the Blues in keeping games level.

The goaltending was the story Thursday. St. Louis got a 29-save shutout and held its nerve through a long shootout. The Blues have also been dealing with injuries involving Torey Krug, Tyler Tucker and Dillon Dube. Now, one aspect that the Blues may have to deal with is the potential fatigue issue after playing on Thursday night and playing into the shootout.

Florida Panthers vs St. Louis Blues Picks and Prediction

Pick: Florida Panthers Moneyline

I like Florida here, although I wouldn’t call this an easy one. The Blues have won two straight and just shut out Utah, so they’re obviously playing better. But Florida has the stronger offense, and that matters when you’re facing a team scoring fewer than three goals per game. The Panthers just came back from 4-1 down against Detroit. You don’t pull that off without some serious scoring ability. St. Louis can absolutely win if it turns this into another tight, low-scoring game. I’m just not convinced the Blues can keep Florida quiet for 60 minutes. The Panthers have more ways to score, and that’s enough for me to lean their way.

Total Pick: Under 6.5 Goals

I’d rather play the under if the total comes out at 6.5. St. Louis has allowed two goals over its last two games, and the Blues aren’t exactly filling the net themselves. Florida has enough offense to score three or four, but St. Louis has been doing a better job limiting chances and killing penalties. The Panthers also have some defensive issues, so I wouldn’t want to get too aggressive with a lower number. Thursday’s five-goal comeback shows how quickly Florida can turn a game into a shootout. Still, I see St. Louis trying to slow things down and keep this close. At 6.5, I’ll take my chances with the under.

Final Picks: Florida Panthers Moneyline and Under 6.5 Goals
