Our Blues vs Canucks Pick
- Pick: Vancouver Canucks to win
- Confidence: ★★★★☆
Game Snapshot
- Matchup: St. Louis Blues vs Vancouver Canucks
- Date & Time: Monday, October 13, 2025, 7:30 PM EDT
- Venue: Rogers Arena, Vancouver, BC
- Broadcast: ESPN+
Key Storylines
- Recent Form: The Blues are coming off a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Flames, with Jake Neighbours scoring twice and Joel Hofer making 27 saves. The Canucks suffered a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in their last game, despite Thatcher Demko’s 34-save performance. Both teams enter this contest at 1-1-0 on the season so far.
- Goaltending: Demko has been solid early in the season, but the Canucks’ offense has yet to find its rhythm, scoring only one goal in its last game after scoring five in their opener. Demko’s 1.54 GAA is a very encouraging sign for the Canucks. St. Louis has given Jordan Binnington one start and Joel Hofer one start. Hofer outperformed Binnington in their season debuts, but Binnington will be back in net for this game.
- Key Skaters: Brock Boeser has two points for the Canucks early in the year and he will remain a key player for them tonight. Jake Neighbours will try to build on his two-goal game against the Flames now that St. Louis is back on home ice.

Final Thoughts
I expect this to be a close game between the Blues and Canucks. But I’ll take the Canucks to get the win at home here. Vancouver won its first home game of the season and they should get another one as they will keep the pressure on a goaltender in Binnington who struggled in his first start of the season.
