Key Storylines
Recent form
The Blues have some momentum after road victories in both Calgary (4–2) and Vancouver (5–2). Jake Neighbours scored twice in the Calgary game, and rookie Jimmy Snuggerud netted two goals in Vancouver. The Blues lost their first home game of the season to the Minnesota Wild but they have developed some confidence since then and will try to build on it here.
The Blackhawks have struggled to find consistency early in the year. They lost 3–2 to Montreal on a late goal and fell 4–3 in overtime to Boston, both close games that slipped from their grasp. But they did win their most recent game at home against the Utah Mammoth and will try for their second win in a row here.
Goaltending
St. Louis is expected to lean on Jordan Binnington, who has been solid in new in past seasons and will look for his second win of the season tonight. Chicago’s Spencer Knight is 1-2 on the season so far. He has some strong individual numbers, posting a .920 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA, but he needs some help from the group around him if he wants to win more games.
Key skaters
For the Blues, Robert Thomas and Jake Neighbours have been impactful early on. Neighbours has three goals to lead the Blues early in the year and he will try to continue to make an impact with his scoring tonight.
Connor Bedard remains the offensive focal point for Chicago. The supporting cast around him will need to step up, as other players must generate pressure to keep the attention of the Blues defense spread around and not just on Bedard.

Final Thoughts
