  • St Louis Blues are 0-7 in their last 7 road games against Central Division teams
  • The Under has cashed in 6 of St Louis’ last 9 games
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Chicago’s previous 4 games

  • Chicago Blackhawks lead the all-time series 181-161-47
  • St Louis Blues won 3-2 when the two teams last met on December 12

St Louis Blues Form

St Louis head to the ‘Windy City’ having won back-to-back home games to improve their record to 17-19-8.

The Blues went on an inconsistent run in the second half of December as they failed to string together wins and went 4-5 in a nine-game spell.

They closed out 2025 with back-to-back defeats, as they fell 4-2 at home to Buffalo and 6-1 on the road in Colorado.

St Louis have rebounded in the opening days of 2026 though, winning consecutive games for the first time since early December.

The Blues kicked off the year with a 4-3 victory over Vegas, and then backed that up last Saturday as they downed Montreal, 2-0.

Chicago Blackhawks Form

Chicago go into this matchup on their best run of form for a couple months, having now won three consecutive games.

The Blackhawks endured a miserable run into Christmas Day as they lost six consecutive games and star man Connor Bedard to injury.

They finally stopped the rot with a 4-3 shootout win in Dallas on December 27, only to immediately return to losing ways and close out 2025 with a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh and a 3-2 shootout loss to the New York Islanders.

Chicago have been on a roll since the start of 2026 though, having opened the year with a 4-3 victory over Dallas.

The Blackhawks have backed that up with two more wins, downing Washington 3-2 on the road and Vegas 3-2 at home.

Verdict

Chicago go into this matchup as a home underdog, but they offer appeal with the plus-money.

The Blackhawks will be full of confidence after knocking off three good teams, while the Blues have lost eight of their last 12 on the road and have had real issues when visiting division rivals.
