St. Louis Blues Set to Strike Lightning at Amalie Arena

As the St. Louis Blues prepare to face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward the momentum from their recent performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for November 25th at 8:00 PM EST, promises to be a thrilling encounter in Tampa.

The Blues have shown a mixed bag of results lately, but there's an underlying resilience that cannot be ignored. In their last game against the Buffalo Sabres on November 23rd, despite putting up a valiant effort with 36 shots on goal and converting twice, they fell short defensively allowing six goals against them. This was particularly evident in their shorthanded situations where they couldn't manage any shots and lost all four faceoffs while being down a player.

However, looking back at the game on November 21st against the Anaheim Ducks reveals a different side of STL. They emerged victorious with three goals scored while conceding only one and dominated faceoffs with a winning percentage of 62 percent – an area they've been consistently strong in.

Their goaltending has been solid as well; boasting save percentages nearing or above 90 percent in recent games is nothing short of impressive. This defensive strength will need to be front and center when facing TB's formidable offense.

On the other hand, TB has been known for its lightning-fast playstyle and ability to strike quickly and effectively – something STL must be wary of. The home advantage might also play into TB's hands as they look to electrify their fans with another win.

But STL is not without its own set of weapons; their powerplay opportunities have often turned into crucial goals which could tip the scales in this matchup if executed properly. With an aggressive approach towards puck possession during even-strength plays demonstrated by outshooting opponents recently, it’s clear that STL has what it takes to challenge TB’s defense.

For Blues fans looking forward to this clash, it will be essential for STL players like Jordan Binnington or Ryan O'Reilly (should he play) to step up once again as leaders both offensively and defensively if they wish to dim Tampa Bay Lightning's hopes at Amalie Arena.

Remember that puck drop is scheduled for November 25th at 8:00 PM EST at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Fans can catch all the action live on TNT (channel 245), TVAS internationally or SportsNet for additional international coverage.
