New Jersey vs St. Louis Prediction 6 November 2026
🔊 The New Jersey Devils have won six of their last seven games, including a recent win over Edmonton. Now they play the St. Louis Blues, who are still struggling offensively. The Blues had six power plays in their last game but failed to score on any of them. The hosts have work to do as well, especially on special teams. Can St. Louis end New Jersey’s home winning streak? We’ll find out on November 6 at Prudential Center.

Head-to-head statistics New Jersey - St. Louis
The Second Period Changes the Game
The New Jersey Devils have won six of their last seven games, averaging 3.9 goals over that stretch. Sheldon Keefe’s team have been particularly active in the offensive zone. New Jersey average 65.9 shot attempts per game, the highest mark in the league. Their power play has not been as effective as they would like, though, converting at 19.1%. Still, recent changes to the top power-play unit have already paid off. Jack Hughes has once again shown why he is the team’s leading scorer.
Against Edmonton, the hosts conceded first but then pinned their opponents in their own zone in the second period. Over those twenty minutes, the Devils outshot them 15-1 and scored three times. Connor Brown scored on the power play, and Hughes had two goals. They could not hold on to their 3:1 lead, however. The Oilers tied the game with two power-play goals, sending it to a shootout. Arseny Gritsyuk scored the deciding goal, and Connor Hellebuyck stopped all three attempts by the visitors. New Jersey won 4:3 in the shootout, extending their home winning streak to five games.

Six attempts, no success
The St. Louis Blues have lost three of their last five games, scoring fewer than two goals in three of them. Jim Montgomery’s team average three goals per game, but they have trouble against organized defenses. The Blues average 26.8 shots on goal per game, and their power-play efficiency is 20.5%. They also have injury concerns: Mailloux, Tucker and Dube are out, while Colton Parayko’s availability remains in question. So far, the road trip has not gone particularly well: one win in two games.
In New York, the Blues had six power-play opportunities but failed to convert any of them. Their opponents kept them from scoring even when St. Louis began to generate noticeably more offense. The visitors took 33 shots on goal, but Dylan Garand stopped 32 of them. The Rangers held a one-goal lead going into the third period, then scored twice more. Pius Suter finally got St. Louis on the board with just 52 seconds left (1:3). Joel Hofer made 28 saves, but it was not enough. After the game, Montgomery specifically noted that his players needed to be more active in front of the net.
Match Results: St. Louis Blues
First-Period Prediction
St. Louis Blues have not lost the first period in seven straight games. At the same time, New Jersey Devils have avoided a first-period loss in 13 of their last 14 games: both streaks can coexist because of ties, but the home team's results remain a significant counterargument. We pick St. Louis Blues to avoid defeat in the first period (X2) at odds of 1.45.
Total Goals Prediction
New Jersey Devils have scored more than 2.5 goals in six of their last seven games. At home, they have averaged 3.67 goals per game this season, while St. Louis Blues have allowed 3.63 per game on the road. The pick is New Jersey Devils team total over 2.5 goals for the game at odds of 1.41.
Reliable Bet
In 10 of the New Jersey Devils' last 11 games, the first period finished with under 2.5 goals. Over their last ten games, the Devils have scored an average of 1 goal in the first period, compared with 0.8 for the St. Louis Blues. We pick first-period total under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.22.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Second periods are often the highest-scoring in games involving these teams. The New Jersey Devils recently scored three goals against Edmonton after the first intermission, two of them on the power play. That stretch was less productive for the St. Louis Blues in their last game, but their overall road statistics point toward goals. Over 1.5 goals in the second period has landed in six of the Blues’ last seven road games. The Devils have seen the same result in four of their last five games. Given the home team’s attacking activity, there is reason to expect at least two goals in the second period. My pick is second-period total over 1.5 goals.
