Pittsburgh Penguins @ St. Louis Blues Preview
The St. Louis Blues enter this game as one of the hottest teams in the NHL, riding a 10-game winning streak. Their defense has been stellar, allowing just 2.79 goals per game and only 14 goals in their last 10 games. Goaltender Jordan Binnington has been a key factor, boasting a .902 save percentage and a 2.66 goals-against average. Offensively, the Blues are led by Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Dylan Holloway, who have combined for 77 goals and 118 assists this season.
On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Penguins have struggled throughout the season, sitting at 30-34-11. Their defense has been a major issue, allowing 3.57 goals per game. While Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell have been productive offensively, the team lacks depth, making it difficult to compete against stronger opponents. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic has also struggled, with a .892 save percentage and a 3.19 goals-against average.
