Anaheim at St. Louis

Struggling Anaheim winds up a dismal five-game road trek here. They are #30 in the league in goals scored and #29 on the power play. Ryan Getzlaf underwent an appendectomy on Wednesday and is expected to miss 4-12 days as he recovers. The Ducks have scored a league-low nine goals in as many games, with Getzlaf notching just one assist. The Ducks are on a 1-10 run and winless on the road. Anaheim has been shut out five times already this season and has scored just five goals in Frederik Andersen's six starts in net. St. Louis improved to 1-0-1 on its five-game homestand with Tuesday's 2-0 triumph over Tampa Bay. The Blues are clicking everywhere, #12 in goals scored and ninth in goals allowed. The Blues have had some injuries but have survived behind their depth and solid work from the goaltending duo of Brian Elliott and Jake Allen. The Blues are on a 68-32 run at home, plus 49-8 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. St. Louis holds all the cards in this one and the home team is 36-15-1 in the last 52 meetings. Back the home team Blues.
