St. Louis Blues Set to Battle Chicago Blackhawks at United Center

In their last three games, the St. Louis Blues have demonstrated a solid winning trend, securing victories in two out of three matches. Their most recent game saw them overpowering the San Jose Sharks with an impressive 5-3 win on home ice at Enterprise Center. The team's offensive prowess was evident as they managed to net five goals from 33 shots, translating into a remarkable shooting percentage of 15 percent.


The game prior to that was also successful for the Blues as they emerged victorious against the Vegas Golden Knights with a scoreline of 3-2. Despite taking fewer shots (28 compared to Vegas' 36), St. Louis capitalized on their opportunities and maintained a shooting percentage of nearly 11 percent.


However, it's not just offense where the Blues excel; defensively they've been robust too. In these two wins, goaltending has been key with save percentages hovering around 90 percent and above in both contests – an encouraging sign ahead of facing Chicago's attackers.


The powerplay unit has room for improvement though; over these games, it has had mixed success which could be crucial in tight matchups like this one against the Blackhawks.


Looking ahead to their encounter at United Center – known for its raucous atmosphere – maintaining composure will be vital for St. Louis if they are to extend their winning streak on enemy territory.


Fans eager to catch this thrilling encounter can tune in on November 17th at half-past midnight UTC time (November 16th local time). The game will be broadcast nationally on TNT (channel 245) and locally on BSMW (channel 671) for away fans looking to support from afar.
