A game 7 is coming up and it will take place in Saint Louis. However, the game is going to be one that the Stars are going to need to come out and start off really well. If the Stars allow the Blues to get the first goal or two then the Stars are going to really struggle as they are not set up to battle back from behind. What is even worse is the Stars are a team that seems to have lost their edge as well if the 6th game of the series that happened in Dallas is really mind blowing as the Stars looked like a team that would have control over the series. Jordan Binnington is the goalie the Blues are going to send out to the net in this game here. He faced a total of 23 shots in the last game and allowed only a single goal in the game. He did have 22 equal strength saves that he was able to turn away in the net and that really helped them out in getting the win in the game.

The Stars were playing the game so poorly that they actually pulled Ben Bishop, because of an injury, with a little over 12 minutes left in the game. He only faced 20 shots in the game and allowed 4 of those pucks to go sailing by him. Khudobin ended up coming in for Bishop in relief with a total of 5 shots faced and turned all of those pucks away.

The Stars are going to be able to play great in this game, but it really depends on if Bishop is able to come into this game or if the collarbone issue will create a problem. Khudobin was able to do really well for the Stars in the last game, but he will not be able to take down the Blues offense for an entire game. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Blues win 4-2.
