They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. Their 3 losses in that span were against the Washington Capitals, the St. Louis Blues, and the Ottawa Senators while their win came against the Pittsburgh Penguins in their last game. They won that game at home 2-1. Trent Frederic and Erik Haula each scored 1 goal in that one. Charlie Coyle led the team in shots on net in that game with 5. Jeremy Swayman was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 1 goal on 24 shots with 23 saves and a .958 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 232 goals this season averaging 3.1 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 203 goals against them allowing 2.7 goals per game. 

 

 

The Blues are coming into this game with 102 points, a 46-20-10 record overall, and they are 26-9-4 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and are coming into this one on a 9 game winning streak. Their last loss was against the Edmonton Oilers while their 9 wins since then have come against the Calgary Flames, the Arizona Coyotes, the Seattle Kraken, the Minnesota Wild, the New York Islanders, the Boston Bruins, the Buffalo Sabres, the Wild again, and the Nashville Predators in their last game. They won that game on the road 8-3. Calle Rosen, Jordan Kyrou, and Brayden Schenn all scored 2 goals in that game while Vladimir Tarasenko and Nathan Walker each scored 1 goal in that one. Jordan Kyrou led the team in shots on net in that game with 6. Jordan Binnington was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 36 shots with 33 saves and a .917 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 288 goals this season averaging 3.8 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 219 goals against them allowing 2.9 goals per game. 

 

 

The Blues are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games and they just keep heating up as they keep winning games by 2 or more goals. They have won 9 straight games and are coming off of an 8-3 win on the road. They have had a few scares in that span but most of their games have been won by 3 or more goals in that span and they have been scoring a lot while their goalies have been playing very well. They are going up against a Bruins team that they just beat in Boston a week ago but the Bruins have not been playing that well recently. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they will be looking for their revenge here from that last game they lost to the Blues at home but the Bruins have also struggled on the road recently and with the way the Blues have been playing, the Bruins will need to play their best to win this game. The Blues have done this in past seasons where they really heat up at the end of the season and go on massive winning streaks which they are currently on one now. They are playing too well to be stopped here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on the Blues to win.

“I thought he looked composed, he was confident playing the puck. I think he needed this as much as we did to be honest with you. He's a young guy ... sometimes older guys can play through things not going their way. Young guys, you're never too sure, especially in that position.” - Bruce Cassidy on his team’s win against the Penguins on Saturday night.

 

 

“I’m very happy with the team, the way they’re performing. They are playing for each other and right now. They are doing a good job. It’s all about the team.” - Craig Berube on his team’s win against the Predators on Sunday night.
