St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks preview

The Enterprise Center is set for a crucial Western Conference showdown as both the Blues and Canucks look to break their 75-point deadlock in the standings.

St. Louis enters this one red-hot on home ice, having lit the lamp 18 times in their last three games at Enterprise while riding the momentum of three straight victories.

Jordan Kyrou has been the driving force behind the Blues' recent surge, leading the team with 58 points split evenly between goals and assists, while Vancouver's Quinn Hughes continues his stellar season with 65 points from the blue line.

The Blues' special teams could be the difference-maker here - they've been clicking at 36% on the power play in their last three, though they'll face a stiff test against Vancouver's third-ranked penalty kill.

These teams have split their season series so far, but St. Louis holds a commanding 7-2-1 record against Vancouver in their last 10 meetings.

The Canucks' road defense has been their Achilles' heel lately, surrendering 14 goals in their last three away games, though they're coming off an impressive 6-goal outburst against Winnipeg.

Joel Hofer looks set to get the nod in net for the Blues after a sharp performance against Nashville, while Kevin Lankinen aims to build on his solid .904 save percentage for Vancouver.
