WHAT TO WATCH

The St. Louis Blues continue to deal with a plethora of injuries. Ivan Barbashev is the latest player added to the list after injuring his left ankle in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against the Sharks. Other injured players include Tyler Bozak (upper-body), Robert Thomas (wrist), Jaden Schwartz (lower-body), Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) and Colton Parayko (undisclosed).

"We can't focus on what happens with injuries and who we don't have," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. "There are guys getting opportunities and they have to take advantage of it. We need to focus on what we've got to do in the game (Saturday) and who is in the lineup."



THE SERIES SO FAR

Jan. 18: Blues 5, Sharks 4
Justin Faulk scored two goals, Mike Hoffman netted his first as a Blue and Jordan Kyrou broke a 4-4 tie in the third period with his second game-winning goal of the season.

Jan. 20: Sharks 2, Blues 1 (SO)
Martin Jones made 22 saves and four more in a shootout to help the Sharks to a 2-1 win against the Blues at Enterprise Center. Brayden Schenn scored the Blues' only goal, while Jordan Binnington made 37 saves.

Feb. 18: Blues 3, Sharks 2 (OT)
Brayden Schenn scored with 39.2 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, and David Perron ended the game with an overtime game-winner with one minute left. It was Perron's sixth overtime goal as a Blue. Jordan Binnington made 30 saves.


BLUE NOTES

Including the postseason, the Blues are unbeaten in regulation in eight straight games (7-0-1) against the Sharks… Jordan Binnington is 7-2-1 in his career against San Jose… Justin Faulk share the League lead in plus/minus with a plus-16 rating… Brayden Schenn has 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in his last 15 games.

So we're facing their new shitty goalie rather than their old shitty goalie. Seems fair since we're missing about 19 regulars with injury right now.

The 3rd line for the Blues will be our big line tonight. I’m calling it. Pogs/Sunny/Blais

Sharks shutout assured. Say that one five times fast, then watch it come true.

I really just like Sunny’s game and hope they continue to expand his role. He does everything very good.

Bad playing, and bad luck added together has got The Blues down 2-0. They had better get into the game and score the next goal.

Well, 2 needless fuckups, and chasing the game. Sandford needed to clear that puck north and Binner should have cover it up instead of playing it around the board.

Kyrou is by far the quickest player the blues have. He'll score one tonight.

I honestly don't know what Sandford is thinking, he's not having a good game.

Yet ANOTHER terrible 1st Period! The Blues better come out skating and score early and often, or you can pack this game up and hand it to The Sharks. The Blues looked like they're mailing this one in, not skating, sending weak passes a few feet away, to no one, and The Sharks are pouncing on them. It's sad to see Walman playing the wing, because of so many injuries to forwards.

There's a scoring opportunity every time ROR,DP57, and Kyrou are on the ice.
