The Blues were able to really play well in the last game when they were able to beat the Oilers by a score of 4-1. However, the Blues are definitely going to have to put several of those nights together, but playing against a team like the Canucks it could be a lot easier for the Blues than what they think.
The Blues have been led in the scoring by Ryan O'Reilly who has put in a total of 31 points. The downside is O'Reilly leads the Blues in goals at 13 and assist as he has helped out on 18 goals, which really limits the Blues offensive productions.

The Canucks have had a bad year and it is obvious this is not going to improve anytime soon for the Canucks.

The Canucks have been led on the year by Elias Patterson who has put in a total of 35 points on the year. The Canucks have also seen Patterson get a total of 18 assist to lead the team, but also leads the team in goals with 17.

The Blues have had quite a few struggles on the season, but they have not been nearly as bad as what the Canucks have had.

Final Score, Saint Louis Blues win 3-2.
