The St. Louis Blues, seeking a rebound, host the Seattle Kraken after a shutout win and a prior loss.

The St. Louis Blues, seeking a season turnaround, host the Seattle Kraken after a 3-0 shutout win over the Sabres following a 6-1 loss to the Capitals. Coach Jim Montgomery made notable lineup changes, including scratching key players and benching captain Robert Thomas due to poor effort, while praising improved physicality but stressing the need for consistency. Joel Hofer earned the shutout in Buffalo, leaving a goaltending decision for the Kraken matchup. The Kraken, coming off a 6-1 loss to the Sharks, acknowledged defensive lapses and lack of structure, aiming to regroup after a rough homestand. Both teams look to build momentum in a key contest at Enterprise Center.
