Recent Performance Trends


The St. Louis Blues have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, showcasing resilience and areas for improvement. In their last game against the Dallas Stars, despite a commendable effort, they fell short with a final score indicating a closely contested battle where they managed to net one goal but conceded two. This game highlighted both their defensive strengths and offensive challenges as they saved an impressive 24 out of 26 shots but struggled on power plays without converting any opportunities.


Their performance metrics show room for growth, particularly in faceoff wins and powerplay conversions. With only 34 percent faceoff wins and no goals from three powerplay opportunities against Dallas, enhancing these aspects could prove pivotal against Chicago.

Against the Blackhawks, focusing on improving faceoff win percentages and capitalizing on powerplay opportunities will be crucial for turning past close calls into victories. The team's ability to adapt its playstyle and strategies based on previous performances will be under scrutiny.


The venue itself may play into the Blues' hands; playing at home at Enterprise Center often brings out their best form due to familiar surroundings and strong fan support. The energy from home supporters can provide an additional boost needed to overcome challenging opponents like Chicago.
