Money Line: 100.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: 100.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
Both teams are locked into their respective playoff spots in the West Division. The feeling I get, though, is the Blues want this game more.
St. Louis blanked Minnesota, 4-0, two days ago behind backup goalie Ville Husso. It was the Blues' fourth straight home win against Minnesota.
The Blues could get back a couple of key contributors, winger Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Vince Dunn. Center Tyler Bozak could see action, too, after being rested this past Wednesday. The Blues also are expected to go with their starting goalie, Jordan Binnington.
The Wild, whose hopes to finish higher than third in the West, were dashed by Wednesday's defeat to the Blues, are expected to go with backup Kaapo Kahkonen in goal and could be resting a number of other regulars.
