The Blues are heading to the game here with a loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The loss came by a score of 6-3 on the day and proved that the Blues defense can be beaten by a bad offense at times. With the recent loss the Saint Louis Blues dropped to a 3-2-1 record on the season overall.

When it comes to goal scoring Saint Louis is not that good with 2.22 goals per game being scored. The power play for Saint Louis is converting at only3% on the year. Defensively the Blues have ended up giving up a total of 2.78 goals per game. The Blues have ended up killing off a total of 80.4% on the year so far.

Vegas comes to the game here after getting a very low scoring win over the Arizona Coyotes in their last game. The win came to the Golden Knights by a final score of 1-0.  With the win the Vegas team moved up to their West Division lead of 5-1-0.

Defensively the Golden Knights have given up 2 goals per game. The penalty kill for the Golden Knights has killed off 85% of the power plays faced on the year.

This game here will be interesting from the stand point that both of these teams have played good on the year to a certain point, but both were projected to do really well on the year. Look for the Blues to play great defense in this game, but the major problem for the Blues is the fact that their offense is unable to play really well in the game and that leads to the Golden Knights getting a strong win here. Final Score Prediction, Vegas Golden Knights win 4-1.
