The Carolina Hurricanes will finish only a two-town Midwestern swing before journeying home for three out of four dates in Raleigh. However, it seems like weary travel legs, not the opposing host team, could be the Hurricanes' stiffest obstacle on their visit to face the St. Louis Blues at 7:30 p.m. EST this Tuesday.
The franchises meeting at Enterprise Center are headed in opposite directions. Carolina has earned nine points in the last five games to emerge from a crowded pack in the Eastern Conference standings. The St. Louis Blues remain among the Central Division's have-nots at 17-21-8, compared to Carolina's 28-14-4.
What's gone wrong for the Blue Note in 2025-26? Namely, the club's vaunted netminding has fallen apart while numerous snipers deal with slumps and injuries. Colton Parayko's lack of goals this season shows how even the Blues' top attractions have failed to get traction on the power play, leading to a league-low 114 tallies to go with a dreadful .871 save percentage for Team Canada goaltender Jordan Binnington.

Carolina Hurricanes vs St. Louis Blues Predictions and Picks
Binnington still plays his best against the best snipers. Sebastian Aho's fans will worry about Carolina getting iced by Binnington in a game of sustained Carolina pressure. But overall, the Blues' netminding situation is so bad that Joe DeMarini of Bleedin' Blue says it's time to wave goodbye to the slumping 32-year-old champion: "The benefits of a (Binnington) trade far outweigh the drawbacks."
Besides, the 'Canes have the firepower to make up for Seth Jarvis' limiting bruises. Aho's team has put 15 skaters in double-digit points before the Dallas Stars have been able to, getting there almost as quickly as Colorado. Rising star Andrei Svechnikov dished four assists in Carolina's 6-3 defeat of Dallas on Jan. 6.
It's the back end of a road trip, but it's not the end of Carolina's good times. Look for the Hurricanes to cover their (-1.5) puck line, a bet that beats the Hurricanes' money line thanks to the cheaper odds.
