As the St. Louis Blues prepare to face off against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Blues have shown resilience and offensive prowess in their past performances, which may be crucial as they step into the away venue on February 10th.

Looking back at their recent games, the Blues have had a mixed bag of results but with some strong takeaways. In their last game against the Chicago Blackhawks, they showcased an impressive offensive display by scoring seven goals on 42 shots, translating to a shooting percentage of seventeen percent. Their powerplay clicked effectively with two goals from four opportunities – an efficiency that will be vital against Buffalo.

However, it wasn't just offense where St. Louis excelled; they also dominated faceoffs with a winning percentage of sixty percent and were disciplined in their play, taking only two penalties throughout the game.

In contrast to this dominant performance was their encounter with Tampa Bay Lightning where they faced defeat despite scoring once from three powerplay opportunities and maintaining discipline with only five penalties. The one goal scored came late in the third period indicating potential issues in starting games strong or facing tough defenses.

The upcoming match presents an opportunity for redemption and consistency for St. Louis Blues as they aim to capitalize on their strengths while addressing areas that need improvement such as faceoff win percentages which were notably lower than desired in two out of three past games.
