The St. Louis Blues' 2025-26 schedule has been released, and it's packed with intriguing matchups. Here are three games that Blues fans should circle on their calendars:
1. Opening Night vs. Minnesota Wild (October 9, 2025)
The Blues will kick off their season at home against a familiar foe, the Minnesota Wild. This Central Division rivalry always provides a hard-fought contest, and the Wild are one of those teams that just make the Blues nervous. This game marks the first meaningful action since the Blues' painful Game 7 loss to Winnipeg in the previous season's playoffs. It’s also the first full season for head coach Jim Montgomery. The Blues will be debuting new players, such as Pius Suter and Nick Bjugstad. Starting the season strong, especially at home, is crucial for building momentum.
2. Chicago Blackhawks (October 15, 2025 & December 12, 2025)
No Blues schedule is complete without highlighting the games against their arch-rivals, the Chicago Blackhawks. These games are always intense, physical, and full of emotion. The Blackhawks will visit St. Louis on October 15 and December 12. Games against Chicago are circled due to the intense rivalry and the fact that the Blackhawks are improving, with young players making them a team to watch in the coming years.
3. Winnipeg Jets (December 17, 2025)
The first rematch of the 2025 playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets is on December 17 at Enterprise Center. This game will be important for the Blues, who will be looking to avenge their Game 7 loss. This is a crucial Central Division matchup.
The Blues' schedule presents several other noteworthy dates:
The schedule is heavily weighted with home games early, as seven of the first eleven games in October will be played at Enterprise Center. There are also 16 total home games on Friday and Saturday nights.
With a mix of rivalry matchups, key divisional games, and a hopeful push towards the playoffs, the St. Louis Blues' 2025-26 season promises to be an exciting one.
