St. Louis Blues vs Calgary Flames Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/18/26

The St. Louis Blues make the second stop of a 3-game road trip against the Calgary Flames. The Blues suffered a 3-2 loss in Winnipeg against the Jets on Sunday, their first game in the past 8 without a point. Still, St. Louis is 6-1-1 in the past 8 games despite the fact that it traded veteran defensemen Justin Faulk and Brayden Schenn at the NHL trade deadline. Instead of falling apart, the Blues have galvanized and have played their best hockey of the season. Now they look to maintain their mastery over Calgary, as St. Louis has won 8 straight meetings since Oct. 26, 2023 — outscoring the Flames 29-15 in the span, including 3 outright victories as an underdog.

The Flames have dropped 2 straight and 4 of the past 5 games. At home they are just 1-2-0 in the past 3 outings, too — although Calgary did surprise the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 as a big underdog (+175) on March 7 in the most recent home game. Still, the Flames are just 1-4-0 in the past 5 games and 2-7-1 across the previous 10. Let’s back the Blues based on the series trends and the Flames’ recent efforts.
