This is a 10* on ST. LOUIS

The Blues had a four-game win streak end two nights ago. But the Stanley Cup Champs of two years ago will get a rubber match today with the ‘Yotes and it should prove to be a successful endeavor. The first two games here in St. Louis have both been decided by one goal, each by the same 4-3 score. The Blues won first (Tuesday) but then fell into an early 3-0 hole on Thursday that was too deep to climb out of. They ended up outshooting Arizona though 43-30. You’ve got to believe the Blues will get off to a better start tonight. Nor are they likely to be 0 for 4 on the power play again. Thursday also happened to be the Coyotes’ very first road win this season. They’ve won just five of their last 26 road games going back to the previous season. They are 7-21 off a win. All signs point to the home team taking Saturday’s game. Play on ST. LOUIS
