St. Louis Blues vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, 10/29/2024 NHL Picks, Best Bets & Odds

Blues Return Home to Face Senators in Central Division Matchup

The St. Louis Blues will return home to the Enterprise Center on Tuesday, October 29th, to face the Ottawa Senators in a Central Division matchup. The Blues are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Sunday, while the Senators are coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.

Blues Look to Rebound After Loss to Predators

The Blues were in control of their game against the Predators for much of the night, but they could not hold on to their lead in the third period. The Predators scored two goals in the final five minutes of regulation to tie the game and then won it in overtime. The Blues will need to be better defensively in their game against the Senators. They allowed the Predators to get too many good scoring chances, and they will need to be more disciplined in their penalty killing.

Senators Look to Continue Road Success

The Senators have been one of the most surprising teams in the NHL this season. They are currently in first place in the Atlantic Division with a record of 7-3-0. The Senators have been led by the play of their top line, which features Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and Claude Giroux. The Senators will be looking to continue their road success against the Blues. They are 3-1-0 on the road this season and have won their last two games away from home.

Prediction

The Blues are the favorite in this matchup, but the Senators are a dangerous team. The Blues will need to be at their best to win this game. The Blues are 3-2-0 at home this season, while the Senators are 3-1-0 on the road. The Blues have won the last two meetings between the two teams. The Blues are the better team on paper, but the Senators are a dark horse team that could make some noise in the playoffs. I think the Blues will win this game, but it will be a close one.

Best Bets

* Blues to win in regulation (-120) * Senators to score first (+250) * Over 5.5 goals (+120)
