Blues vs. Predators: Last Meeting Stung, Rematch Lands Nov. 7

Blues at Predators, November 7. Let's start with the uncomfortable part. When these two met on October 17, Nashville beat St. Louis 5-2, and our Blues moneyline pick went down with it. We missed. No sugarcoating.

That result is the story you should carry into this one. Nashville took the first meeting of the season, and the Predators host this rematch, which gives the home crowd and the home bench a reason to feel good about the setup.

DarkHorse has not published a pick for this game yet. That's deliberate. We'd rather hold the card than post a number we can't fully stand behind, and the official call will show up before puck drop. Until then, read this as a preview of the matchup, not a betting verdict.

What to watch: whether St. Louis can keep this one closer than the three-goal margin it dropped last time, and whether Nashville finds the same rhythm that carried the October 17 win. Those two questions will tell you more about this game than any narrative we could write.
