St. Louis Blues vs Dallas Stars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/04/26

The St. Louis Blues have given the Stars all they can handle in their previous 3 meetings this season. St. Louis defeated Dallas 3-1 back on October 18, and then lost 3-2 and 4-3 in their 2 meetings in January. As tough as they’ve played the Stars so far this season, it’s tough to trust the Blues in this matchup. St. Louis has dropped 7 of its last 8 games and has allowed a whopping 4.4 goals per game in that stretch. That follows a similar theme for Jim Montgomery’s squad, as they rank 30th in the NHL allowing 3.48 goals per game. That’s not exactly the formula needed to defeat Mikko Rantanen, Jason Robertson, and Wyatt Johnston. The Stars have arguably the best forward depth in the league, and they are more than capable of making life difficult for the Blues.

Dallas enters this matchup on a heater. The Stars have rattled off 5 straight wins, with 2 of those wins coming against the Blues. St. Louis is among the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL, and they simply don’t boast the same offensive firepower that Dallas does. Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger has made light work of the Blues in his career. In 10 career games against St. Louis, Oettinger owns a stellar 8-2-0 record to go along with a .933 save percentage and 1.77 goals-against average. Combine Oettinger’s St. Louis dominance and Dallas’ explosive offense, and this could be a long night for the Blues. Take confidence backing the Stars to take care of business in regulation by backing them on the 3-way moneyline.
