Washington Capitals vs St. Louis Blues Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/24/26

Part of a busy Tuesday night in the NHL brings us matchup between the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues. These teams have both put together unimpressive season, but they each still have an outside chance at the playoffs and are not ready to back down yet. To get you set for the action with our Capitals vs. Blues prediction.

When looking at the leaders in team offense, Washington and St. Louis is nowhere near the top. Especially for St. Louis, who sits 29th at 2.61 goals per game.

Both have mightily struggled on the power play, as they are each within the bottom-seven in success rate, both below 17%.

Not only have their offenses been shaky, but this game should have a playoff-like atmosphere. I expect minimal mistakes, high effort, and great sacrifice and physicality. This play style should result in minimal offense. Washington has had game total go under in six-straight games and in 10 of their last 12. As for St. Louis, the total has stayed under in five-straight games, and  in 10 of their last 11. Take the under 5.5 for our Capitals vs. Blues prediction.

Capitals vs. Blues prediction: Under 5.5 (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that total to (-110).
