New Jersey is a clear home favorite over St. Louis: the Devils trade at 64c on Kalshi and 65c to 66c on Polymarket as of Thursday morning, November 5, about a 65% implied win probability, with the Blues at 35c on both. The books agree within 2c, so there is no cross-platform edge. The price has drifted toward the Devils all week, matching a club that is 8-2-0 in its last 10 and 7-2-0 at home. St. Louis (7-7-1) arrives off a 3-1 loss at the Rangers on Tuesday.
New Jersey (10-5-0) hosts St. Louis (7-7-1) as a clear favorite, priced near 65% on both prediction markets. Puck drop is 7:00 PM ET at Prudential Center in Newark, per both the ESPN scoreboard and the NHL schedule. It is the first of two meetings this season; the rematch is November 21 in St. Louis. Both teams played Tuesday: the Devils beat Edmonton 4-3 in a shootout at home, and the Blues lost 3-1 at the Rangers.
As of Thursday morning, November 5, the New Jersey Devils are 64c on Kalshi and 65c to 66c on Polymarket, and the St. Louis Blues are 35c on both. The books agree to within 2c, so there is no cross-platform edge on either side, and a Polymarket buyer of New Jersey pays slightly more than a Kalshi buyer. The DraftKings line shown on ESPN (Devils -205) converts to about 67%, a touch richer on New Jersey than either exchange. The live board above carries the current prices.
The movement has run one way all week. Kalshi's daily closes on the Blues went from 42c on October 30 to 37c on November 4, and Polymarket's Devils close rose from 60c to 64c over the same stretch. In the snapshots captured since Wednesday morning, the Kalshi Blues slid from 39c at 11:04 AM ET Wednesday to 35c at 8:12 AM ET Thursday, while the Polymarket Devils climbed from 64c Wednesday evening to 66c Thursday morning.
The puck line says the market expects a Devils win but not a rout. New Jersey to win by two or more (-1.5) is 40c to 42c on Kalshi, where it has drawn about $2.4K in volume, and 40c to 41c on Polymarket. That is about 63% of the Devils' moneyline price. St. Louis -1.5 is 17c to 18c, and New Jersey -2.5 is 28c to 29c. The total sits on 5.5 goals, with the over at 55c on Kalshi and 54.5c on Polymarket; the over 6.5 is 44c on both. The Kalshi over 5.5 opened Wednesday's captures at 61c and has fallen to 55c.
New Jersey's case is form and shot volume. The Devils are 8-2-0 in their last 10, 7-2-0 at home, and second in the Metropolitan Division with 20 points. They outshoot opponents 32.7 to 24.5 per game, score 3.40 goals per game (11th by the NHL's team stats), and allow 2.87 (seventh). Jack Hughes leads the team with 19 points (8 goals, 11 assists), scored twice against Edmonton on Tuesday, and has eight points in his last five games.
The soft spot is the penalty kill. New Jersey kills 67.6% of opponent power plays, 29th in the NHL, while St. Louis converts 20.5% (19th). Special teams are the most direct path to a Blues upset.
In goal, ESPN's scoreboard lists Connor Hellebuyck as the expected Devils starter as of Thursday morning. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .900 save percentage in three appearances per the NHL, and he started both the Devils' October 30 win in Vegas and Tuesday's shootout win. ESPN lists Joel Hofer as expected for St. Louis; he is 6-4-1 with a 2.39 GAA, .918 save percentage and one shutout, and he stopped 28 of 30 shots at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
St. Louis is a break-even team on the season: 45 goals for and 45 against, 3.00 per game each way, and 5-5-0 over its last 10. The Blues are 3-5-0 on the road but kill penalties at 84.6% (sixth). Dylan Holloway leads them with 12 points and Jimmy Snuggerud has eight goals.
The injury list is heavier on the Blues side. ESPN lists Colton Parayko as day-to-day with an upper-body injury as of November 4, with Torey Krug (ankle, out for the season per the AP preview), Logan Mailloux (hand), Dillon Dube (neck) and Tyler Tucker (knee) on injured reserve. New Jersey is without defenseman Seamus Casey (knee, injured reserve).
The moneyline settles on the winner of Thursday's game, overtime and shootout included. The puck line and total settle on the official final score, and the board carries about $19.7K in total volume ahead of the 7:00 PM ET start. The Devils visit the Islanders on Saturday and the Blues play at Nashville the same night.
The Blues' loss on Tuesday is on the Blues vs Rangers board from November 3, and the Devils' shootout win that night is on the Oilers vs Devils board. New Jersey's start shows up in the Eastern Conference winner market and both clubs trade in the 2026-27 Stanley Cup market. Every game on tonight's slate is on the NHL hub.
The St. Louis Blues vs New Jersey Devils moneyline resolves to whichever team wins the NHL game scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, November 5, 2026 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, with overtime and shootout results counting toward the winner. Puck line contracts (for example, New Jersey or St. Louis winning by more than 1.5 goals) settle on the official final margin, so a one-goal win, including any overtime or shootout decision, does not cover. Total contracts settle on the combined goals in the official final score under each venue's rules. If the game is postponed or cancelled, Kalshi and Polymarket each apply their own rules for rescheduled or voided events, and both settle once the result is official.
As of the morning of November 5, 2026, the New Jersey Devils are 64c on Kalshi and 65c to 66c on Polymarket, and the St. Louis Blues are 35c on both. That implies about a 65% win probability for New Jersey.
