Will the Pittsburgh Penguins Glide Past the St. Louis Blues at PPG Paints Arena?

As the Pittsburgh Penguins prepare to host the St. Louis Blues at PPG Paints Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent dominant performance. The upcoming clash scheduled for December 31st promises to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to end the year on a high note.

The Penguins have been showcasing an impressive offensive prowess in their recent games. Their last outing against the New York Islanders was a testament to their scoring capabilities, as they netted seven goals while keeping a clean sheet. This victory was underpinned by a staggering 22 percent shooting accuracy and a solid defensive effort that saw them block 13 shots and win 55 percent of faceoffs.

However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Pittsburgh; they faced a tough challenge against Ottawa Senators where they narrowly lost in overtime despite scoring four goals and winning 59 percent of faceoffs. Their powerplay opportunities were plentiful but only capitalized once out of seven chances.

In another close encounter at home against Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh managed to secure a win through a shootout after both teams were locked with one goal each during regular time and overtime. The Penguins' goaltending proved crucial as they saved all three shots faced in the shootout.

The consistency in goal-scoring and strong goaltending are positive signs for Pittsburgh as they head into this game against St. Louis Blues who will be looking to disrupt these trends.

Fans can catch this highly anticipated matchup live on ESPN+ or SportsNet PT channel 659 for local viewers or BSMW channel 671 for those following from away locales.
