As favorites in 2025-26 the Blues went 10-20 and lost 13.08 units, a bigger hole than all but two NHL teams dug in that role. As underdogs St. Louis went 27-25 and made 10.1, so the price told us more than the record.

Two teams in one sweater

St. Louis finished 37-45, and the market priced them as an underdog 52 times and a favorite 30. Those two roles produced opposite seasons. With a plus price they returned 10.1 units, a figure only San Jose, Montreal, the Islanders and Buffalo beat. Laying a price, they won a third of the time and gave back 13.08; only Florida and Vegas lost more as favorites. Net, blind backing ended 2.98 down.
