Blues Hope The Offensive Show Continues
The Blues are heading to this game with a record that has had mixed results on the season with a 2-2-1 record. The road record for Saint Louis is not that impressive with a 1-2-0 record. The last game on the ice seen Saint Louis pick up a 5-3 road win over the Blue Jackets. However, that comes on the heels of the Blues dropping 3 games including a 3-2 loss in overtime to the San Jose Sharks.
A main issue for the Blues this year has been consistent play on the same night. Yes, the numbers are similar to make it look like Saint Louis would be a good team with 14 goals scored and only 16 allowed. However, these numbers are skewed as the night the offense shows up the defense is missing. The Blues have ended up getting 2.80 goals per game score and allowed 3.20 goals per game. The shows are sitting equal with 26 per game on faced and given.

Senators Look To Continue Strong Home Ice Start
Ottawa is playing on Monday in the first half of a back to back. The Ottawa team is coming in with an impressive record prior to that Monday game with a 4-1-0 record, but the home ice record for Ottawa is sitting at 2-0-0. When it comes to the last game the Senators won on their home ice in a shootout by a score of 3-2 and the game prior to that was a 2-1 win over the Flyers.
One of the biggest notes to see for the Senators is the fact that the defense has shown up on the ice giving up only 11 goals total on the year and that is sitting at 2.2 goals per game allowed. The offense for Ottawa has shown up as well with 15 goals on the year and a total of 3 goals per game scored. Now, the Senators have converted at a clip of 24.8 shots per game, but the defense is facing a total of 26 shots per game.
St. Louis Blues vs Ottawa Senators Picks and Predictions
Moneyline Pick — Ottawa Senators
Ottawa has earned the advantage through its early defensive consistency, even with a challenging schedule. The Senators have allowed just 11 goals in five games and have demonstrated that they can win tight contests without needing a particularly explosive offensive performance. St. Louis responded well against Columbus, but the Blues had scored just five combined goals in their previous three outings and have struggled to produce consistent power-play offense. Ottawa's home-ice advantage should help, although the back-to-back against New Jersey creates fatigue concerns, especially if Sanderson and Zub remain sidelined. The final goaltending assignments will be important, but Ottawa's more reliable defensive results make the Senators my preferred moneyline side at a reasonable price.
Total Pick — Under 6.5 Goals, If Available
Ottawa's defensive form supports the under, particularly if the total reaches 6.5. The Senators have held four of their first five opponents to two goals or fewer and have demonstrated a willingness to play controlled, lower-scoring games. St. Louis has been inconsistent offensively, and its power play has managed just one goal in 11 opportunities. The Blues' latest five-goal performance creates some concern, but one strong offensive outing doesn't completely erase the problems that appeared against Colorado, Chicago, and San Jose. Ottawa's potential fatigue and defensive injuries are the biggest risks to the selection. Even so, the matchup profiles suggest a game where sustained scoring could be difficult for both teams, making under 6.5 the preferred direction.
Final Picks: Ottawa Senators Moneyline | Under 6.5 Goals (target)
