The Blues have just two wins in their last ten games after they were beaten by the Canucks 2-4 as 145-point roaddogs. They haven’t been able to score lately. They’ve averaged 1.40 GAG in their last five and Paul Kariya has just two points in ten games. Everything about their offense stinks. Their defense is just as bad allowing 2.80 GAG in their last five and overall on the road 2.62 GAG. Goalie Manny Legace hasn’t had a back to back win since the start of the season. They have the second-fewest points in the West and they are close to missing the playoffs for the third straight season. The Blues are 10-16-3-2 away from home and they’re 12-14 over/under on the road.
