The St. Louis Blues (14-13-2) will host the San Jose Sharks (10-16-5) at Enterprise Center on Thursday night, with history strongly favoring the home team in this Western Conference matchup.
The Blues have dominated recent meetings between these teams, winning seven of their last ten encounters, including their last two victories over the Sharks.
St. Louis enters the contest with momentum, having won six of their last ten games while maintaining a solid defensive record of allowing just 2.5 goals per game during that stretch.
The Sharks, meanwhile, are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and improve their concerning road record, where they've dropped 16 of their last 20 games.
Robert Thomas has been a standout performer for the Blues with 13 points in his last ten games, while the Sharks will rely on Mikael Granlund and William Eklund to generate offensive opportunities.
