St. Louis Blues 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
In the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Blues lost a seven-game thriller to the Winnipeg Jets. In Game 7 at Winnipeg, St. Louis led with less than two minutes remaining, but the Jets rallied to tie the game with 1.5 seconds remaining to force overtime, which they won in the second extra period. Still, it was a remarkable turnaround season for the Blues. Now, for 2025-26, come increased expectations, interest, and classic new uniforms. St. Louis is again excited about the Blues. Head coach Jim Montgomery took over a St. Louis Blues team that was 9-12-1 and in the early stages of a lost season. Instead, Montgomery jump-started the franchise on a remarkable run that ultimately led to a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. St. Louis has been retooling under general manager Doug Armstrong, and Montgomery was able to bring out the best in its young talent. St. Louis improved dramatically on both ends of the ice.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Pius Suter, Nick Bjugstad, Logan Mailloux
Out: Zack Bolduc, Radek Faksa, Nick Leddy, Ryan Suter
St. Louis’ placement here is not a product of what seems like a decent summer, but rather the lack of a projection for Logan Mailloux. The young defender played just seven chaotic games for Montreal last year, and it wouldn’t be fair to judge what he can do based on that data. In theory, he’s the exact kind of defender the Blues need: one who can bring a lot of offense from the blue line.
In practice, though, Mailloux is a giant question mark. Zack Bolduc isn’t — he looks like a potentially strong top-six player with defensive upside. The difference there is what colors the Blues’ placement here. If Mailloux can be as impactful as Bolduc already is, the Blues would shoot up considerably. That’s still a big if at this juncture, but at the very least, it was probably a worthy bet considering St. Louis’ surplus of winger talent. The presence of Jimmy Snuggerud for a full season should help offset the loss of Bolduc internally.
Aside from that, it’s easy to like what the Blues did, nabbing Pius Suter and Nick Bjugstad. Those two considerably bolster the team’s center depth, with the latter being a notable upgrade over Radek Faksa.
Blues GM Doug Armstrong didn't need to do a lot this offseason, but the three moves he made were quite impactful.
Armstrong could afford to move on from Bolduc because he had six forwards on the roster who scored more than 18 goals, while also considering the role of prized prospect Jimmy Snuggerud. Trading Bolduc for Mailloux provided them with a young blue-line option, knowing that Torey Krug won't play next season (or possibly beyond).
In signing Bjugstad, the Blues added an experienced and sizable third-line center who could anchor a bottom six. Getting Suter on a two-year deal gives the Blues one of the strongest center setups in the league, and another forward who scored more than 18 goals last season.
Key Players
C Robert Thomas was the 20th overall pick of the 2017 NHL Draft by the Blues. His NHL career began in St. Louis during the 2018-19 season, and he played a role in the Stanley Cup championship. Thomas represents the future of the Blues, as he is likely to be the new franchise's marquee player. Thomas is a 2024 NHL All-Star. Last year, Thomas had 21 goals, 60 assists, 81 points, and a +20.
LW Pavel Buchnevich broke into the NHL with the New York Rangers in 2017-18 and has been with the Blues since 2021-22. Last year, he scored 20 goals, had 37 assists, and totaled 57 points, finishing with a plus-1 rating.
Jordan Kyrou is the Blues’ leading goal scorer, with 36 goals, 34 assists, 70 points, and a +23.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Jordan Binnington has been inconsistent since coming out of nowhere to backstop the Blues' Stanley Cup championship run as a career minor leaguer. Last year, he had a 2.69 goals against average with a .900 save percentage. His record was 28-22-5 with three shutouts.
Head Coach
Head coach Drew Bannister was a minor league coach for the Blues before being called up for his first NHL HC gig on December 12, 2023. He was fired this season after a 9-12-1 start. Jim Montgomery arrived from the Boston Bruins, where he compiled a record of 120-41-23. Monty engineered a remarkable turnaround and an unexpected playoff berth by going 34-18-7 after taking over as Blues coach.

St. Louis Blues History
The St. Louis Blues were part of the NHL's 1967 “Great Expansion,” when the league doubled in size from 6 to 12 teams. The Blues made the Stanley Cup Final in their first three seasons by winning the “West” Division, which comprised the six expansion teams. As a result, the Blues started leading the entire NHL in attendance for most of their first decade of existence. St. Louis finally won its first Stanley Cup in 2019, which set off a celebration that matched anything the baseball Cardinals ever had.
Now, St. Louis is firmly established as one of the NHL's great legacy franchises. Past marquee men of the Blues include Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall, Red Berenson, brothers Bob and Barclay Plager, and Brett Hull. Hull’s arrival jump-started a franchise mired in mediocrity, and the Blues have had a big-league feel ever since.
St. Louis has found a combination of stability and consistency with Chairman Tom Stillman and General Manager Doug Armstrong. Armstrong has done a masterful job of keeping the team a contender while navigating the challenges of the salary cap and free agency. Most important of all, Armstrong delivered the Stanley Cup banner that had eluded this franchise for so long.
The Stanley Cup championship was the final piece of the credibility puzzle for the Blues. The franchise has always had a large, passionate, and generational fan base. Tradition and history have been integral to the franchise’s culture from the outset. But now that a Stanley Cup championship banner hangs from the rafters, a long-sought legitimacy is complete.
