San Jose Sharks won after overtime
Our pick, San Jose Sharks to win at locked odds 1.816, won. It was published with 52% confidence.
Before the start the best price on San Jose Sharks to win had drifted from 1.816 to 2.296, so the market moved away from this pick after it was published.
San Jose Sharks face St. Louis Blues in the NHL on 9 October 2026, with Enterprise Center (Saint Louis) given as the venue. The bookmaker line leans to San Jose Sharks at 1.816, with St. Louis Blues at 1.992, an implied chance of 52.3% against 47.7%.
Across all competitions combined, the head-to-head record points the other way, with 10 wins for St. Louis Blues and 5 for San Jose Sharks in 15 meetings since 2021, the latest on 31 March 2026. Recent results for both teams are missing from our data.
We pick San Jose Sharks to win at 52% confidence, because they are the market favourite. The edge is slim, and the head-to-head count, which leans to St. Louis Blues, is a fair reason for caution. Team news is not available to us, so this remains a close call.
