St. Louis at Toronto

This is the third straight road game for this erratic St. Louis team working on a new coach in Mike Yeo, who has been coach for one week. The Blues have a losing road record and are #26 in goals allowed. St. Louis is off a victory, but 2-11 when following a win, plus 5-14 when playing on one day or rest. This is the second straight home game for Toronto on a four-game homestand. Toronto is a powerhouse on offense at sixth in goals scored, second on the power play, off a 3-1 win over Dallas. They've scored 14 goals the last three contests. Top overall pick Auston Matthews (25 goals) has scored in back-to-back contests to extend his point streak to three games (two goals, three assists), while forward Nazem Kadri has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 16 games. The Maple Leafs are 8-3 after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous game, so back the home team and play Toronto.
