St. Louis Blues Analyzed

St. Louis is 2–2–1 over its last five, with wins over Buffalo and Calgary but overtime/shootout losses to Seattle and Philadelphia and a regulation defeat to Vegas. The Blues average 2.79 goals per game but allow 3.84, giving up more than they score on most nights. The Blues take 25.6 shots per game and allow 27.7.

The power play has been a bright spot at 22.9% with 11 goals, but the penalty kill sits at 70.8% with 14 goals allowed, which has hurt in close games. Robert Thomas leads St. Louis with 12 points (3 goals, 9 assists) and a +1 rating, while Jordan Kyrou has 11 points and a team-high six goals. In net, Jordan Binnington is 4–5–3 with a 3.34 goals against average and .869 save percentage, and Joel Hofer is 2–4–1 with a 4.04 GAA and .867 save percentage.

Toronto Maple Leafs Analyzed

Even in defeat, the Maple Leafs are scoring, averaging 3.53 goals per game on the season, but they allow 3.79 and face 31.2 shots per night while taking 27.7.

St. Louis Blues at Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction

St. Louis struggles to limit goals against, and Toronto’s attack still generates chances even during its current losing skid. The Blues' penalty kill is vulnerable against a skilled Leafs top unit, and Toronto’s home record is stronger than its overall mark. While both defenses give up too much, Toronto has the deeper scoring talent and will finally convert its pressure on attack into a needed win at home. Final Score Prediction: Toronto Maple Leafs win 5–3. Getting the most out of your bets on Blues vs Maple Leafs can be done by using the Fanatics Sportsbook promo code.
