Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues Game Analysis | 27-01-2026 | NHL
The Dallas Stars (29-14-9) are set to face the St. Louis Blues (19-24-9) in a regular-season matchup on January 27, 2026, at 8:00 PM CST. This pivotal Western Conference clash will take place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, presenting a contrast between a contending Stars squad and a struggling Blues team aiming for a turnaround.
Dallas Stars Team Performance
The Dallas Stars enter this contest as a formidable force, boasting a strong 29-14-9 record. Their success is largely attributed to a balanced offensive attack and solid defensive structure. They demonstrate an ability to control possession and generate high-quality scoring chances, often dictating the pace of play.

St. Louis Blues Team Performance
The St. Louis Blues, with a 19-24-9 record, are navigating a challenging season. Their recent performance has been inconsistent, marked by flashes of offensive potential often overshadowed by defensive vulnerabilities. The Blues struggle with sustained pressure in the offensive zone and converting scoring chances, indicating a need for more clinical finishing. While their goaltending has shown moments of brilliance, the team’s overall defensive cohesion has been a concern, allowing too many high-danger shots. Special teams have been average, neither consistently providing a significant advantage nor a major detriment. They often rely on individual efforts rather than a cohesive team system.
St. Louis Blues Key Players
- Points: Pavel Buchnevich (28)
- Goals: Jake Neighbours (12)
- Assists: Pavel Buchnevich (19)
Prediction: Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues
Considering the Stars’ superior record, offensive firepower led by Rantanen and Robertson, and overall team structure, they are the clear favorites in this matchup. The Blues’ inconsistencies, particularly defensively, will likely be exploited by Dallas’s potent attack. We predict a victory for the Dallas Stars. Given the Stars’ offensive capabilities and the Blues’ defensive struggles, combined with the potential for both teams to capitalize on special teams, an offensively inclined game is anticipated. The total goals prediction is Over 6.5.
