St. Louis Blues (42-28-7): The Blues are on an impressive 11-game winning streak, matching their franchise record set during their 2018-19 Stanley Cup-winning season. Their recent surge has significantly improved their playoff prospects. However, the team will be without forward Dylan Holloway, who sustained a lower-body injury in their recent victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

They are currently on a two-game winning streak, with victories over the Chicago Blackhawks and Blue Jackets. Nathan MacKinnon leads the team with 114 points, including 31 goals and 83 assists. Goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood has been solid between the pipes, boasting a .915 save percentage and a 2.46 goals-against average.
