Blues Battle Sharks in Quest for Victory at the Enterprise Center

As the St. Louis Blues prepare to host the San Jose Sharks at the Enterprise Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of strong performances. The Blues have shown a mixed bag in their last few outings, with a win against Minnesota Wild in a shootout, a commanding victory over Anaheim Ducks with an impressive powerplay execution, and a narrow loss to Colorado Avalanche.

The game against the Avalanche saw the Blues put up three goals on thirty-three shots but ultimately fall short by one goal. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways: they out-hit Colorado 29-16 and won faceoffs 52 percent of the time. However, they'll need to tighten up defensively as they gave away thirteen times compared to Colorado's nine.

In contrast, their performance against Anaheim was more dominant. The Blues capitalized on powerplays scoring three out of six opportunities which contributed significantly to their four-goal tally from twenty-seven shots – showcasing an impressive fifteen percent shooting efficiency. Their faceoff win percentage was also notable at sixty-seven percent.

Against Minnesota Wild, it was another close encounter that extended into overtime and eventually ended in a shootout where St. Louis emerged victorious. While only scoring two goals during regulation and overtime on thirty-seven shots (five percent shooting), they excelled in faceoffs with sixty-three percent wins.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for St. Louis to leverage its home advantage at Enterprise Center – known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as an extra player on ice for the home side.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on March 31st; puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM CT and will be broadcasted on ESPN+ online as well as NBCS-CA and BSMW television networks.
