The St. Louis Blues (23-23-4) welcome the Vancouver Canucks (21-17-10) to the Enterprise Center on Monday night in what promises to be an intriguing Western Conference matchup.
The Blues enter the contest looking to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Canucks aim to build momentum following their recent 2-1 victory over Washington.
St. Louis has dominated this rivalry recently, posting an impressive 8-1-1 record in their last 10 meetings with Vancouver and already leading this season's series 1-0.
The Blues' Jordan Kyrou leads their offensive charge with 42 points (21 goals, 21 assists), while Vancouver's Quinn Hughes has been exceptional with 14 points and 40 assists on the season.
Both teams have shown contrasting forms on special teams, with Vancouver converting 21 percent of their power play opportunities while St. Louis has struggled with penalty kills, ranking 28th in the league.
Recent defensive performances could prove decisive, as the Blues have allowed just seven goals in their last three home games, while the Canucks have conceded 12 goals in their previous three road appearances.
As these teams prepare to face off at the Enterprise Center, their recent history and current form suggest an compelling battle between two teams desperate to improve their positions in the Western Conference standings.
