Dallas on the road, Friday, October 2, at 8 p.m. — that’s the game listed as the opener for the 2026-27 St. Louis Blues schedule, and it’s one more data point in a pattern that’s now run through five straight releases in this series. Real Game 1 or preseason placeholder, it doesn’t matter much for how the schedule actually plays out: St. Louis is on the road for three of its first four games, then gets a soft landing with four straight home dates from October 20 through 29.

Four Dates With a Division Rival
Blues vs Avalanche 2026-27 splits almost perfectly down the middle — St. Louis is on the road at Colorado in October and again in late December, then hosts the Avalanche twice, in early December and late January. Central Division games always carry an edge, and this one alternates venues almost every time the two teams meet.
Nine Days Out West, Five Straight Roads
Nothing else on the calendar compares to what’s waiting in mid-March. Starting March 15, the Blues play at Seattle, at Edmonton, at Vancouver, at Calgary, and at Winnipeg — five road games in nine days, all against Pacific and Central opponents, with zero home dates in between. St. Louis Blues road trip 2026-27 doesn’t get tougher than that stretch, and it lands with the playoff picture likely already taking shape.
The Bottom Line
Eighty-four games as released, likely 83 once the October 2 opener is confirmed one way or the other. But the trip to circle is the one in March — five straight on the road through the Pacific Division will tell you plenty about whether this Blues team has the legs for a long postseason push.
