St. Louis Blues vs. Pittsburgh Penguins preview

The red-hot St. Louis Blues, riding an impressive 10-game winning streak, welcome the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins to Enterprise Center for what could be a clash of defensive styles on Thursday night.

While the Blues have clawed their way into a Western Conference wild card spot thanks to their stifling defense allowing just 14 goals in their last 10 games, the Penguins have floundered near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division despite Sidney Crosby's continued excellence.

Jordan Binnington has been a wall in net for St. Louis with a 2.66 GAA, while Pittsburgh's porous defense (3.57 goals against per game) has undermined their season.

The Blues' formidable defensive unit, anchored by Philip Broberg and Justin Faulk, will look to frustrate a Penguins attack that musters just 2.89 goals per game.

Pittsburgh's lone bright spot might be their power play, converting at an impressive 24.26% clip, though they'll face a stern test against the disciplined Blues.

Jordan Kyrou and Dylan Holloway lead St. Louis's somewhat top-heavy offensive attack that, much like Pittsburgh's, relies heavily on its stars to generate scoring.

The Penguins did manage a 1-0 shutout win in their last outing against Ottawa, suggesting they might have found some defensive footing, but replicating that against the surging Blues presents a whole different challenge.

Expect a tight, low-scoring affair where special teams opportunities could ultimately determine which team skates away with the two points.
