St. Louis Blues Set to Face Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena

As the St. Louis Blues prepare to face off against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around their recent performance trends. The upcoming match, scheduled for November 26th, will be a test of resilience for the Blues who have shown mixed results in their past few games.

The Blues' most recent game against the Tampa Bay Lightning ended in a loss with a final score of 5-2. Despite managing an even number of shots on goal and winning over half of their faceoffs, defensive lapses led to a negative plus-minus rating and allowed four even-strength goals. Their powerplay unit did manage to capitalize once on three opportunities but failed to make up for other shortcomings.


In contrast, during their game prior against the Buffalo Sabres, another loss was recorded with six goals conceded and only two scored by the Blues. The goaltending struggled with an approximate save percentage of 81 percent while facing 32 shots on goal. The powerplay unit again found success with one goal from three chances but was overshadowed by two shorthanded goals allowed.


However, not all is bleak for St. Louis fans as they can find solace in their team's performance before these setbacks when they secured a win against the Anaheim Ducks at home. In that game, they showed strength in both offense and defense with three goals scored and only one conceded alongside an impressive save percentage nearing 96 percent from 28 shots faced.


The venue may play a significant role as well; playing away at Amerant Bank Arena could challenge the Blues who will need to overcome both opponent and environment alike.


Fans can catch this pivotal match live on ESPN+ or BSMW for away broadcast or BSFL for home broadcast on November 26th at 6:30 PM Eastern Time (ET).
