While Jordan Kyrou's recent nine-point explosion in five games has energized the Blues' offense that's found the net 24 times during their win streak, the Predators enter this matchup ice-cold, managing just a single goal in four of their last five outings and sorely missing injured defenseman Roman Josi.
The Enterprise Center crowd will be electric as the St. Louis Blues host a Nashville Predators team that's desperate to snap out of their scoring slump and play spoiler to their division rival's playoff hopes.

St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators preview
The St. Louis Blues are riding a red-hot streak into Sunday's divisional clash with Nashville, having racked up five straight wins and clawing their way into the final wildcard spot.
Jordan Kyrou's been lighting it up for the Blues lately - he's grabbed nine points in his last five games and seems to have found another gear just when St. Louis needs it most.
The Predators, on the flip side, are limping through a tough stretch without their defensive anchor Roman Josi, managing just a single goal in four of their last five outings.
While Nashville's Filip Forsberg has managed to stay productive with four points in his recent games, the team's overall offensive struggles have them sitting dead last in league scoring at 2.5 goals per game.
The Enterprise Center has been a fortress for the Blues lately, with the team putting up an impressive 25 goals in their last five home games.
These Central Division rivals have already met three times this season, with St. Louis holding the edge in the series 2-1, including a convincing win earlier this week.
Keep an eye on Blues' center Robert Thomas, who's been quietly effective with five points in his last five games, while the Predators will look to veteran Steven Stamkos to break out of his season-long funk.
With the Blues fighting for their playoff lives and the Preds playing out the string of a disappointing season, this matchup has all the makings of a classic late-season divisional battle.
