St. Louis continues to struggle with just 2 wins in their last 6 games, including a disappointing 6-5 loss to Nashville in their most recent outing. The Blues' road woes persist with an abysmal 8-21 record away from home, averaging only 2.45 goals per game while surrendering 3.59. Their defensive issues have been glaring, allowing 5+ goals in 4 of their last 6 games. Despite having 2 days of rest, St. Louis has shown little ability to string together consistent performances. The Blues managed to beat Florida 5-4 and Tampa Bay 3-2 in shootout recently, but those rare bright spots have been overshadowed by heavy defeats. Their goaltending has been inconsistent, and their penalty kill has struggled against quality opponents like Dallas.
