The St. Louis Blues and the Calgary Flames meet in NHL action from the Scotiabank Saddledome on Monday night.

The St. Louis Blues will look to build on a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in their last matchup. Jordan Kyrou leads the Blues in scoring with 41 points including a team-high 16 goals and 25 assists while Vladimir Tarasenko has 38 points with 14 goals and 24 assists. Pavel Buchnevich has 36 points with 15 goals and 21 assists and Ivan Barbashev has 34 points, logging 15 goals. Robert Thomas leads the Blues with 26 assists as well this season. Jordan Binnington’s seen the bulk of St. Louis’ action in goal, going 11-8-3 with a 2.02 GAA and a .906 save percentage this season.

The Calgary Flames will be out to rebound from a 5-3 loss to Edmonton in their last game. Johnny Gaudreau leads the Flames in scoring with 44 points including a team-high 29 assists while Elias Lindholm has 31 points with 19 assists and 12 goals with Lindholm posting a team-high +23 plus/minus rating while Gaudreau has a +21 rating. Matthew Tkachuk has 18 goals and 19 assists for his 37 points while Andrew Mangiapane has 22 points and a team-high 18 goals of his own. Jacob Markstrom’s gone 13-9-5 with a 2.25 GAA and a .924 save percentage up to this point in the season in goal for Calgary.

St. Louis is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the Pacific division and 7-0 in their last 7 games against the Western Conference while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games as an underdog. Calgary is 1-8 in their last 9 games against a team with a winning record and 0-6 in their last 6 games played on 1 day’s rest while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the Central division.

I gave the Flames the benefit of the doubt against the Oilers, who were downright awful going into that game and no pun intended, I got burned. Well no more. The St. Louis Blues are back in one of those stretches where they look extremely similar to the team that hoisted the Stanley Cup a couple of seasons ago and I think that they continue that form with a win over a Flames team that plays their best hockey away from home.
