Nashville vs St. Louis Prediction 7 November 2026
🔊 Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues sit next to each other in the Western Conference standings, but they come into their next meeting in different moods. The Predators have won three straight games against opponents who were far from weak. The Blues, by contrast, have lost two in a row, though they managed to erase a three-goal deficit in their last game. The teams have already met in Tennessee this season, when the hosts scored five goals. Can St. Louis Blues get revenge?
Five goals from five players
📊 The first meeting of the season ended in a 5:2 win for the Nashville Predators. The Predators snapped a three-game losing streak that night, with five players scoring: Jonathan Marchessault, Filip Forsberg, Adam Edstrom, Ryan O'Reilly and Jack Drury. Roman Josi, Steven Stamkos and Adam Wilsby each had two assists. Philip Broberg and Jimmy Snuggerud scored for the St. Louis Blues. So the teams’ first meeting of the season produced seven goals, continuing the high-scoring history of this matchup.
Head-to-head statistics Nashville - St. Louis
Three wins against strong opponents
Nashville have won four of their last six games, including wins over Tampa (5-4 SO), Carolina (4-1) and Colorado (3-2 OT). Andrew Brunette’s team are gradually climbing out of the lower part of the standings, though their defence still does not always hold up under pressure. The Predators have allowed more than three goals in four of their last eight games. Their penalty kill, however, has been reliable: opponents have failed to convert more than 89% of their power-play opportunities.
In Denver, Nashville took the lead twice, but Colorado tied the game both times. Ross Colton opened the scoring, and Vitaly Pinchuk scored the first goal of his NHL career. The score was tied after two periods and stayed that way through regulation. Steven Stamkos settled it in overtime with a power-play goal that gave the visitors the win. Justus Annunen made 30 saves, and Nashville beat a strong opponent for the third game in a row.
Match Results: Nashville Predators
A comeback without a win
St. Louis cannot seem to build on good results. After wins over Boston (4:1) and Detroit (5:4), Jim Montgomery’s team lost to the Rangers (1:3), failing to score on any of their six power plays. A loss to New Jersey followed. The Blues’ defence does not look hopeless, though: they allow an average of 3.1 goals per game, and Joel Hofer has a 91.8% save percentage.
In Newark, the Blues trailed (1:4) at the start of the third period but managed to turn things around late. Mason McTavish, Philip Broberg and Dalibor Dvorsky scored three goals in 3 minutes and 8 seconds to tie the game. Jesper Bratt gave New Jersey the win (5:4) in overtime, however. Jordan Binnington finished with 31 saves. St. Louis earned one point, but their winless streak reached two games.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues have a notable pattern in their head-to-head games: they almost always get on the scoresheet early. In each of their last 13 meetings, the teams have combined for at least two goals in the first period. At Nashville’s arena, that run stands at ten games. Nashville Predators have not been slow to get going lately, either: in their last game against Colorado, the teams scored three times before the first intermission. After two losses, St. Louis Blues will almost certainly try to get more involved from the start, and the head-to-head record gives good reason to expect early goals. Our pick - first-period total over 1.5 goals.
