St. Louis Blues vs Calgary Flames Betting Preview
Two teams desperate for a spark meet Tuesday as the St. Louis Blues host the Calgary Flames at Enterprise Center. Both clubs enter off consecutive losses and sit near the bottom of their divisions.
Calgary has failed to score in back-to-back games, falling 4-0 to Chicago and 2-0 at Minnesota. The Flames rank last in the league at 2.06 goals per game and have dropped nine of their last ten. Coach Ryan Huska emphasized the need for net-front traffic and better puck support, while captain Mikael Backlund called out missed scoring chances.
St. Louis is 2-6-3 in its past 11 and suffered a crushing 4-3 overtime defeat against Seattle after a late goaltender interference call went unreviewed. Head coach Jim Montgomery responded with an intense “bag skate” Sunday to jolt his team’s compete level.
The Blues won the first meeting 4-2 in Calgary on Oct. 11. Jake Neighbours scored twice in that game but remains sidelined with a leg injury.

Line Movement and Odds
According to the latest NHL odds, St. Louis opened at -135 and has moved to -150 on the moneyline, while Calgary sits at +127. The total is 5.5 goals, up slightly from the 5.0 opener.
Early money hit the over, but sharp bettors have since leaned toward the under given both clubs’ scoring droughts. About 60% of public tickets are on St. Louis, yet larger wagers have landed on Calgary’s side, narrowing the puckline edge.
Matchup Breakdown
The Flames generate plenty of zone time but can’t finish. They’re fourth in shots on goal but rank near the bottom in shooting percentage. Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau have combined for 15 goals, but depth scoring remains inconsistent. Dustin Wolf may start in goal after strong performances earlier this month, and Calgary’s physical forecheck could create second-chance opportunities if they get bodies to the crease.
The Blues rely on their physical play and goaltending to stay competitive. They’re fourth in hits (385) and 14th in blocks (237), but their possession numbers lag. Jordan Binnington likely returns to the net after Joel Hofer started the last two. Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou lead the team with nine points apiece, and both must convert on Calgary’s struggling penalty kill.
