St. Louis Blues vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 01/07/26

The St. Louis Blues will face the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Blues are currently sitting 12th in the Western Conference, while the Blackhawks rank 13th. St. Louis is rocking a 2-game winning streak. The issue for the Blues is that they have struggled to score. Over the past 5 games, they have only scored a total of 12 goals. Making matters worse, STL has been held to 2 or fewer goals in 7 of the last 10 away games. This has been a major issue for the Blues, as they rank last in the NHL with 107 total goals this season. This difficulty scoring is a good sign for the Blackhawks.

Taking a look at the Blackhawks, they are sporting a 3-game winning streak. They also won their previous home start against the Vegas Golden Knights, which could be a major confidence booster for them. Chicago has not been great at scoring this season, either, but it has lit the lamp 3 times or more in 5 of its last 6 outings. On the opposite end of the ice, the Blackhawks boast an 89.5% save percentage this season while having an 83.8% penalty-kill percentage. The defensive play has shown itself in their current 3-game winning streak and should play a role in today’s game. Overall, I suspect the Blues will continue to struggle offensively while the Blackhawks find the back of the net with their momentum.
