St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators Picks and Prediction for Saturday November 7 2026

St. Louis heads to Nashville on Saturday afternoon for a 1 PM ET game against the Predators at Bridgestone Arena. The Blues just lost 5-4 in overtime to New Jersey, and that was a strange one. They were down three goals in the third period, came all the way back, and still lost. Nashville is coming off a 3-2 overtime win against Colorado. The Predators already beat St. Louis 5-2 earlier this season, and I like their chances to do it again. Get into the hockey action with our free NHL picks.

St. Louis Blues Have Been Inconsistent

St. Louis is 7-7-2 after Thursday’s overtime loss to New Jersey. The Blues have lost four of their last six games, and the results have been all over the place. They lost 3-1 to the Rangers on Tuesday, then nearly pulled off a ridiculous comeback against the Devils. That’s been the story with St. Louis. Some nights the offense looks good. Other nights, the Blues can’t get much going.

St. Louis has scored 49 goals in 16 games and allowed 50. That’s 3.06 scored and 3.13 allowed per night. Those numbers are pretty even, which fits a team sitting at .500. The Blues have been decent on special teams, with a power play around 21% and a penalty kill better than 85%. But they haven’t been doing enough at even strength to put games away consistently.

The injury list is another concern. Torey Krug remains unavailable, while Dillon Dube, Tyler Tucker, and Logan Mailloux are also out. That’s a lot of missing depth, particularly on defense. St. Louis has enough offense to compete with Nashville, but it needs a much cleaner game than it played in New Jersey.

Nashville Predators Have Been Getting Better Results

Nashville is 7-4-5 after beating Colorado 3-2 in overtime Thursday. The Predators have been collecting points even when the offense isn’t particularly impressive. They also beat Carolina 4-1 on Tuesday. That’s two pretty good wins, and Nashville has been playing better hockey than its record might suggest.

The Predators have scored 48 goals in 16 games and allowed 47. That’s three goals scored and 2.94 allowed per game. Nashville’s power play has been one of its strengths, operating around 30%, while the penalty kill has been close to 90%. Those are strong numbers, and they give the Predators an advantage against a St. Louis team that’s been inconsistent.

Jonathan Marchessault has been dealing with a lower-body injury, and William Trudeau remains out with an upper-body issue. Nashville needs to check those situations before Saturday, but the Predators have been getting results despite the injuries. They also have the advantage of already beating St. Louis by three goals this season.

St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators Picks and Prediction

Moneyline Pick: Nashville Predators

I’m taking Nashville. The Predators already beat St. Louis 5-2, and they’ve been playing some good hockey lately. Beating Carolina and Colorado in consecutive games is a pretty decent stretch. St. Louis deserves credit for coming back against New Jersey, but the Blues also dug themselves a three-goal hole before doing it. Nashville has been better on special teams, and I think that makes the difference in a close game.

Total Pick: Under 6.5 Goals

Give me the under 6.5 if that’s the posted number. Both teams are scoring right around three goals a game, and Nashville has been doing a better job defensively. The Predators just played a 3-2 game against Colorado and a 4-1 game against Carolina. St. Louis scored four in New Jersey, so there’s certainly some danger. But I think Nashville tries to keep this tight and take advantage of its special teams. Something like 3-2 or 4-2 makes sense.

Final Picks: Nashville Predators Moneyline | Under 6.5 Goals (if available)
