St. Louis made the playoffs last season with a winning record. The Blues aren't as bad as they looked in the opener, getting smoked by Minnesota, 5-0, despite winning the battle of hits (40-19) and allowing just 21 shots. Calgary has been outscored 8-5 to start the season, off a 5-1 loss at Vancouver. The offense still looks below-average, scoring the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL last season. St. Louis swept the season series 3-0, by a 10-5 count. The Blues have also won eight out of the previous nine meetings, including five in a row in this arena. Play St. Louis.
