Match Details
- Date: 2025-10-15
- Time: 1:40 AM UTC
- Location: Enterprise Center, St. Louis, Missouri
Game Overview
The St. Louis Blues (2-1-0) host the Chicago Blackhawks (1-2-1) in a Central Division matchup. Both teams are mid-table in their division, with the Blues showing slightly better early-season form. The Blues recently shut out the Blackhawks 4-0 in their last meeting on October 4, 2025[5]. The game will be broadcast on TNT[1].
Key Factors to Consider
- The Blues have started the season stronger, with two regulation wins and a single loss. The Blackhawks have struggled more, with only one win and two losses, plus an overtime loss. Key Blues players like Jake Neighbours (3 goals) and Robert Thomas (2 goals, 3 assists) have been productive early. For the Blackhawks, Connor Bedard (2 goals, 1 assist) is a standout, but the teamβs overall offensive output has lagged[3].
- The Blues dominated the Blackhawks 4-0 in their most recent meeting, indicating a potential psychological edge and matchup advantage[5]. Historical data from this season suggests the Blues have the upper hand in both team play and goaltending.
- No specific injury information is available in the provided sources. In absence of this data, assume both teams are at full strength, but always check for last-minute lineup changes before placing any wager.
- The game is at the Bluesβ home arena, Enterprise Center, where they are 0-1-0 so far this season. Home-ice advantage is traditionally significant in the NHL, but recent form at this venue is neutral. No major external factors (weather, travel, etc.) are indicated.
- Both teams are early in the season and jockeying for position in a competitive Central Division. The Blues are slight favorites and may be motivated to extend their winning streak against a division rival. The Blackhawks, with a poor start, may be desperate for a win but face a tough road test.
