The home team, St. Louis Blues, opened their account early by netting one goal in the first period but were outscored by three goals to two in an eventful second period. They managed to add another goal in the third period but fell short as they watched their opponents from Carolina tally up six goals throughout the game.


The St. Louis Blues' performance was marked by notable statistics including 27 hits and nine takeaways indicating their physical presence on ice and efforts to regain puck possession respectively. Their shooting accuracy stood at approximately 15 percent with four goals scored from 26 shots taken.


Special teams played a significant role for both sides during this matchup; however, it was particularly impactful for St. Louis who capitalized twice on powerplay opportunities out of three chances given – contributing significantly to their total scoreline.


Despite these efforts and scoring two even-strength goals, goaltending proved challenging for St. Louis as they saved only about 83 percent of shots faced compared to Carolina's save percentage which hovered around 85 percent.


On an individual level, players from both teams contributed impressively with assists; seven assists were recorded by members of The Blues while The Hurricanes tallied three assists over all periods combined.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought battle on home ice, fans can catch The St. Louis Blues next when they travel to face off against Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on December 4th at an unspecified time due to timezone differences not provided in data set (scheduled date is based on UTC).
