Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues head-to-head record
The Blackhawks and the Blues have encountered each other five times so far, and in those five games, both teams have won some. The most recent game was on the sixth of October 2024, and the Blackhawks won easily 6-2. However, on the 29th of September 2024, the Blues came out on top and won 3-2. The Blues beat the Blackhawks 5-2 on April 11, 2024, and 7-5 on December 24, 2023. Both teams will likely be working to strengthen their weaknesses, like the Blackhawks' problems with the penalty kill and faceoffs and the Blues' problems with goaltending that does not always work. The outcome might depend on how well each team handles special teams and scores when they have the chance, especially with important players such as Connor Bedard for the Blackhawks and Jordan Kyrou for the Blues.
