The Blues have spent three seasons on the Western Conference bubble. Here is the postseason formula: the point totals, benchmarks and checkpoints that decide 2026-27.
Bleedin' Blue's Michael Meyer outlines how the St. Louis Blues can qualify for the postseason during the 2026-27 NHL season. With the schedule expanding to 84 games, Meyer projects that reaching 96 to 99 points could be sufficient to earn a playoff berth, while targeting a 100-point pace (roughly a 45-29-10 record) provides safety.
Meyer argues that Head Coach Jim Montgomery's squad needs to achieve a goal differential near plus-15 alongside dependable special teams. The analysis establishes benchmarks across the season, emphasizing that St. Louis should aim for 24 points after 20 games and 50 points by the 42-game halfway mark to stay firmly in contention.
