Canadiens vs. Blues prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 27, 2026

The St. Louis Blues are favored to beat the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, according to Dimers' NHL pregame model.

Our Canadiens vs. Blues prediction gives St. Louis a 51.5% chance of winning at Enterprise Center, while the latest odds suggest the best betting value lies in under 6.5 goals.

Canadiens vs. Blues: Key predictions

• Blues win probability: 51.5%
• Canadiens win probability: 48.4%
• Canadiens +1.5 puck line: 69.6% cover probability
• Under 6.5 goals: 56.2% probability

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.

Canadiens vs. Blues odds

Here are the best available odds across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets monitored by Dimers.

• Canadiens moneyline: +106 (BetRivers)
• Blues moneyline: 51¢ (Novig)
• Canadiens +1.5: -235 (BetMGM)
• Blues -1.5: 30¢ (Novig)
• Over 6.5 goals: 48¢ (Novig)
• Under 6.5 goals: 53¢ (Novig)

Odds are subject to change and may vary by location.

Best value bet: Under 6.5 (53¢)

The Blues may be more likely to win, but Dimers' top value bet is under 6.5 total goals at 53¢, available at Novig.

Those odds imply a 53.0% chance of the game finishing under 6.5 goals, while our model puts that probability at 56.2%.

That's a 3.2% edge on the under, the largest across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
