St. Louis has won five in a row against the Islanders, including the past four at home. The games haven't been close either as the Blues have outscored them by 13 goals during this stretch.

Not only do the Islanders have a tough time beating the Blues in St. Louis, but they catch the Blues rested. St. Louis concluded a six-game road trip and hasn't played since Tuesday.

The Islanders, however, had to play last night where they lost at home to the Bruins. That means a three hour flight to St. Louis and a two hour time difference. New York is 1-6 the last seven times playing on zero rest.

The Blues are likely to see Islanders backup goalie Thomas Greiss.

This is St. Louis' first home game since opening night. So there should be plenty of excitement.
