The surging St. Louis Blues bring their seven-game winning streak to Bridgestone Arena, where they'll face a Nashville Predators team that's been searching for answers during a disappointing season.
While the Blues' defense has been nothing short of spectacular, allowing just 10 goals in their last seven games behind Joel Hofer's solid netminding, the Predators' offensive woes continue with a meager 2.55 goals per game average.
The contrast couldn't be starker as the red-hot Blues, fighting for their playoff lives, clash with a home team Predators squad that's fallen to second-worst in the Central Division.

Nashville Predators vs. St. Louis Blues preview
The red-hot St. Louis Blues roll into Nashville's Bridgestone Arena riding a seven-game win streak that's catapulted them into wild card contention.
Blues' netminder Joel Hofer has been a brick wall lately, with the team giving up just 10 goals in their last seven outings - a defensive masterclass that's making St. Louis a tough team to crack.
The dynamic duo of Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou have been lighting it up for the Blues, combining for 50 goals and 76 assists, while the blue line pairing of Suter and Faulk keeps things locked down in their own end.
Nashville's been having a rough go of it this season, with Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault doing their best to keep the offense alive, but the team's struggled to find consistent scoring beyond their top line.
The Preds' usually reliable Juuse Saros hasn't found his rhythm this year, posting a sub-.900 save percentage that's left Nashville exposed on too many nights.
These Central Division rivals last met in a 4-1 Blues victory that showcased St. Louis's newfound offensive swagger.
With the Blues fighting for playoff position and the Predators looking to play spoiler, this matchup at Bridgestone should bring plenty of that classic Central Division intensity.
Keep an eye on Blues defenseman Justin Faulk, who's been quarterbacking the power play with precision while shutting down opponents' top lines.
