Next Thursday night will be a very relevant day for St. Louis Blues, as they’ll have the chance to increase their gap against the teams that currently aren’t qualified for the playoffs. In this regard, facing Pittsburgh Penguins looks like a perfect opportunity to achieve it as they currently note as the team with the best short-term performance after winning their last 10 games in a row.
With those impressive numbers in mind, the Blues could be considered as one of the strongest contenders to become a dark horse in the Western Conference, however it cannot be ignored that they couldn’t score more than 3 goals during their last three games in a row. With that lack of offensive effectiveness, they aren’t really expected to reach final instances in the playoffs.
On Pittsburgh Penguins’ side, this team has kept the label of the worst defensive line in the Eastern Conference during almost all the season, so the focus for this team must be trying to strengthen their defensive for the upcoming season. Despite those bad numbers, they were able to break a streak of 3 losses in a row after their most recent overtime victory over Ottawa Senators (1-0).
