St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis may be the hottest team in the NHL with an eight game winning streak. In that timeframe, they’ve outscored their opponents 37-12. With that impressive stat, the Minnesota Wild were the toughest opponent they faced during that stretch. This matchup against the Avalanche will be a true test for this Blues team that is rocketing up the NHL standings.

Colorado Avalanche News & Notes:

For Colorado, this game is about ‘asserting dominance’ in their division. A win today would put the Avalanche 10 points ahead of the Blues in the standings; a loss brings them 6 points apart. Colorado added a lot of depth and size to their lineup at the deadline. It will be interesting to see the matchup versus a heavy Blues lineup.
