Stats from NHL.com read Tue, Oct 27, 1:33 AM PT · Kalshi prices read Tue, Oct 27, 1:34 AM PT

  • 44 of 86NHL games through Oct 11 with six or more goals (51%).
  • 132 of 172Team-games with two or more goals (76.7%).
  • 28Empty-net goals in 24 of 86 games. An under is never safe in the last two minutes.

Regis sits this one out, and here is his read

Boston's goalies stop .922 as a team and 15.2% of its shots go in, so the Bruins win even though opponents average more shots than they do. Joel Hofer has started eight of St. Louis's 11 games at .917. Boston plays in Carolina and St. Louis hosts Montreal on Tuesday, and those games are not in the numbers here.

I'm not posting a ticket on this game. I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning and kept tonight's real money to the games where my two legs looked strongest; this one finished just outside that group, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 5 PM PT puck drop.

  • David Pastrnak has 7 goals and 10 assists after 100 points last season.
  • James Hagens has 9 points and scored against San Jose on Saturday.
  • Mason McTavish and Dylan Holloway lead St. Louis with 10 points each, and Jimmy Snuggerud has 6 goals.
  • Casey Mittelstadt scored his 100th NHL goal on Saturday.
  • St. Louis's Alexey Toropchenko (upper body) was ruled out at least six weeks on Oct. 4.
  • Seven of Boston's 12 games and seven of St. Louis's 11 have had six or more goals. The six-goal market on Kalshi was not trading on both sides yet when this page went up.
