Pittsburgh Penguins vs St. Louis Blues Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/14/26

With the Flyers beating the Hurricanes in a dramatic shootout on Monday night, the Penguins and Flyers are set to meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In what will be an entertaining series to watch unfold, but the Penguins still have one more regular season game left on Tuesday night against the Blues. Given the fact that their postseason matchup is already set, it would be a bit surprising to see the Penguins play with a maximum effort in this one. Furthermore, don’t be alarmed if Pittsburgh head coach Dan Muse rests some of his top guys. Pittsburgh’s only objective in this game is to make it through as healthy as possible. With that in mind, don’t expect the Penguins to be super aggressive on either end of the ice.

The Blues are outside of the playoff picture and are looking to end the campaign with a home win before heading to Utah to face the Mammoth on Thursday. The Blues are playing on the second half of a back-to-back as they defeated the Wild 6-3 on Monday night. Thus, fatigue may be an issue. Furthermore, the Blues have struggled to score goals on a consistent basis this season, as they enter this matchup ranked 27th in the NHL scoring just 2.68 goals per game. All things considered, this has the makings of a low-scoring game. That makes the under the play.
