The model leaned St. Louis Blues at 58.4%.
PuckCast had St. Louis Blues at 58.4% to win this game on Tue, Oct 20. The matchup detail follows.
STL controlled play at 5v5 last season, 49.9% of the expected goals to 44.6%.

None of that is the model read. This is a rating-and-home-ice forecast; the full prediction, with confirmed goalies, rest and form, priced against the market, publishes inside the seven days before puck drop and replaces these numbers. St. Louis Blues over Winnipeg Jets is where it starts, not where it ends.
No sportsbook has posted a price for this game yet. Prices usually appear roughly a week before puck drop.
No starter is named this far out. These are each side’s projected starters on the current roster, with last season’s numbers.
