St. Louis at Buffalo

Jordan Binnington had a rare poor game in goal in a 5-2 loss at Toronto on Saturday as he allowed four goals, but he still has a 13-6-2-2 record and 2.45 goals-against average. His counterpart tonight is likely to be Carter Hutton, who hasn't won since Oct. 22 and he gave up six goals his last appearance on Saturday against Vancouver. The Blues have won four in a row over their last four games when following a home loss of at least three goals and they are 5-1 their last six after allowing at least five goals their previous game. Buffalo has lost six of its last seven against Western Conference teams. St. Louis is 9-3 the last 12 meetings at Buffalo and 20-4 the last 24 meetings overall. Also, the Blues are 27-13 their last 40 games versus the Atlantic Division. Play the Blues.
