The Blues are once again taking on the Golden Knights, but this time it's in St. Louis. The Blues won the last game against the Golden Knights in a shootout, 5-4. Here are three players you need to watch for in tonight's contest.
1. Brayden Schenn
We've already written about this, but the captain has been one of the Blues' hottest players since Jim Montgomery took over. He has 11 points in 11 home games since the head coach took over and has played like the leader he needs to be.
The line of Holloway-Schenn-Kyrou has been the best line for the Blues for the past couple of games. Look for them to make an impact in tonight's game.
2. Jack Eichel
Eichel scored the first goal that started the Knights comeback late in the third period. A dynamic player as any, the Blues are going to have to watch him like a hawk. Every player seems like they can be a game changer for Vegas, as that's why they're one of the best teams in the NHL.
If the Blues can pull off two wins in a row against the Knights, that would be an impressive feat.
3. Joel Hofer
Jordan Binnington has figured it out lately, and now it's Hofer's turn. The schedule sets up well to see both goalies in action. For the most part, both ends of the tandem have played well lately. But this is a big test for Hofer, and it might just be one of the biggest tests of the season for him.
I want to see Hofer do well in this game. If the Blues can take two games in a row against the Knights, that will say something about this group. Ultimately, it comes down to the elusive third win in a row, which they have failed to accomplish.
