Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Picks and Predictions for Tuesday October 27 2026
Montreal just went into Winnipeg and won 2-1. That’s a good road result, especially against a team that wants to make every shift a fight. Now the Canadiens head to St. Louis, where the Blues have been inconsistent. This looks like a closer game than the home-ice crowd might expect.
Montreal visits Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET. With no confirmed consensus odds, my targets are Montreal moneyline +110 or better and Under 6.5 goals. Get in on all the heart pounding action with our free NHL picks.
Montreal Has Been Finding Points
The Canadiens are 6-3-2 through eleven games, with 36 goals scored and 36 allowed. That’s an even goal differential, but Montreal has collected points in eight of eleven outings.
Sunday’s 2-1 win at Winnipeg showed the Canadiens can play a controlled road game. They didn’t need four or five goals to get the result. That’s important against a St. Louis club that can punish mistakes when opponents get careless.

The concern is Montreal’s defense over the larger sample. Allowing 36 goals in eleven games means there have been plenty of loose nights. The Canadiens need to repeat Sunday’s disciplined effort rather than get dragged into a trading-chances contest.
St. Louis Hasn’t Established Consistency
The Blues are 5-5-1 with eleven points. That’s about as middle-of-the-road as it gets. St. Louis has been competitive, but it hasn’t consistently dictated the terms of games.
The Blues need to create offense through sustained pressure and better work around the crease. Montreal’s defensive numbers suggest there will be chances if St. Louis is patient.
But the Canadiens have enough offensive ability to punish turnovers. St. Louis must be careful with its puck management, especially through the neutral zone. This matchup could turn on which team makes the fewer mistakes.
Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues Picks and Predictions
Montreal Canadiens Moneyline — Target +110 or Better
I’ll take Montreal as a small underdog. The Canadiens have the better record and just showed they can win a tight game on the road. St. Louis has home ice, and that matters, but I don’t see a major enough difference between these clubs to justify a big premium on the Blues. Montreal is my side if the plus money is there.
Under 6.5 Goals — Target
I’m leaning under 6.5. Montreal’s overall defensive numbers aren’t beautiful, but Sunday’s game showed a more disciplined approach. St. Louis hasn’t been consistently explosive either. The danger is an early special-teams goal opening everything up. Still, I like a 3-2 Montreal game more than a seven-goal shootout.
Final Picks: Montreal moneyline (+110 or better) and Under 6.5 goals
