Anaheim Ducks News & Notes: 

Since acquiring Jacob Trouba, the Ducks overall play has improved. The Ducks are currently 13th in Goals Against, something they can build around. If Anaheim’s young talent can grow into their roles offensively, the Ducks could be a much-improved team down the stretch.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis has been stuck in the middle of the pack so far this season. Ranking 27th in Penalty Kill percentage, 25th in Power Play percentage, 23rd in Goals Against, and 20th in Goals For. The Blues aren’t playing their way out of mediocrity thus far this season.
