The Senators have a lamentable record lately, particularly on the road, They haven’t mustered much in the way of offense against better teams, and were roughed up by the Blues in their last meeting. Forsberg has been a solid net-minder in a losing cause, but has faced 40 or more shots in three straight games.

It won’t get any easier against the Blues’ very dynamic offense. The Blues have been on the road for an extended period of time, but are finally back in St Louis tonight. They are a much more successful home team, and after losing a rare three straight away games, will be fired up against a very beatable opponent. They are a fine team on both offense and defense, but haven’t shown much in the way of scoring on this mini-slump. This will be the perfect opportunity for a big breakout. Take the Blues to win on the puck line.
