Blues vs. Canucks Pick
Blues vs. Canucks Moneyline Pick
- Canucks -125
St. Louis got back in the win column as they managed to take down Calgary, but pivoting back to Binnington between the pipes is a questionable choice. Hofer was solid against the Flames, and Binnington has been a mediocre goaltender for several years now. Meanwhile, Demko has been sound in his two outings, even with the loss to Edmonton. The Blues are hard to trust at this point, and Vancouver is the better team. Playing at home, you have to think that Vancouver plays tough defense and that stifles an inconsistent St. Louis attack to deliver the win on Thanksgiving north of the border.
Blues vs. Canucks Over/Under Pick
- Under 5.5 (-105)
St. Louis has split their first two games in relation to the total this season, with an average total of 5.50 goals per game. The Blues had a total of six goals in their one road game against the Flames. Last season, the Blues had an average total of 5.87 goals per game on the year. That number slipped down to 5.85 goals per game on the road in 2024-25. Vancouver has seen the under post a 1-0-1 mark in their first two games of the year, seeing an average of five goals per game. Last season, the Canucks had an average total of 5.90 goals per game, and that number slipped to 5.83 goals a night at home. Vancouver holds St. Louis in check, and this game winds up short of the number.
