San Jose has been performing poorly this season, making them one of the weakest teams in the league. Their upcoming game against St. Louis at their home arena will be quite challenging. St. Louis, on the other hand, has been performing consistently well this season. They will be aiming to score early goals to put San Jose at a disadvantage right from the beginning of the game. With San Jose's defense lacking in strength due to various issues, it is likely that St. Louis will take advantage of this weakness early in the game. Final Score Prediction, St. Louis Blues win 3-1.
