St. Louis at Buffalo

Buffalo may be home, but the young team is losing confidence, winless in the last four (0-2-2) while managing only four goals during that span. Rookie Jack Eichel registered only one point in his last five games, joining a group of unproductive forwards of late. Buffalo is 27th in the NHL in goals scored, 19th in goals allowed, with one of the worst penalty killing units. Buffalo is 22-48 at home and 15-46 against the Western Conference. St. Louis is in town with great balance and depth, outstanding on defense ranked 11th in goals allowed and fourth in penalty killing. St. Louis rookie defenseman Colton Parayko continues to impress with 12 points and a team-best plus-10 rating. The Blues are on a 7-3 run on the road and 57-19 against a team with a losing record. Buffalo is also 2-17 against the Blues, including 1-9 at home. Play St. Louis.
