ST. LOUIS -- Special teams figure to be a factor as the St. Louis Blues kick off a five-game homestand against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night in a game between two hot teams.

The Blues enter the matchup with 247 penalty minutes, fourth most in the NHL. St. Louis had four penalties in the first period in its 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday that snapped its four-game winning streak.

The extended penalty kill time took a toll on the Blues physically and made it impossible to get into an offensive rhythm as St. Louis managed a season-low two shots in the first period at Washington.

well I wonder how many lucky goals we'll get scored tonight.

 

[Minnesota]

Nate Predator makes his return.

 

[BusQuets]

I was starting to get nervous without the Nate Prosser on the line-up.

[Minnesota]

Kuemper changed Boudreau's 70/30 philosophy for goalies.

Dubnyk all the way.

 

[Sharppi]

I would love to watch this game, but these 3AM starts are too much for a family man. Just if my kids weren't so young. Oh well, in five short years the youngest one starts school too so he'll walk/bike to the school instead of me driving him to the kindergarten.

 

[Spurgeon]

Kuemper changed Boudreau's 70/30 philosophy for goalies.

Dubnyk all the way.

I think Dubnyk's changed Boudreau's mind more than Kuemper has. Kuemper has looked pretty good in his last few starts. Dubnyk is just playing like a Vezina contender right now.

Kuemper changed Boudreau's 70/30 philosophy for goalies.

Dubnyk all the way.

BB's philosophies are being tossed by this Wild team. Goalie splits and no d-man over 25 mins. Nice to see that he's flexible in his thinking.

 

[Minnesota]

Watching the Blues pre-game... Anchor lady just pronounced Dubnyk "doob-knee-ack".

 

[Minnesota]

Darren Pang says the Wild are "big and strong!"

 

[Minnesota]

Nail Yakupov a healthy scratch tonight... Seems like he didn't leave the baggage behind in Edmonton.

 

[Minnesota]

Doob-knee-ack looks shaky early. Giving up rebounds.

 

[Minnesota]

Yikes, Niederreiter slides into the end boards trying to capitalize on a 2-on-1. Could have been ugly.

 

[Drewcifer]

It has been long enough since I've seen Prosser play that I didn't realize he was rocking the Boogie Nights 'stache these days.

 

[Minnesota]

Parayko's huge. Completely neutralized Koivu along the boards.

 

[StealthClobber]

Counted about 3 shots there, nice pressure.

 

[Minnesota]

Scandella, Spurgeon, Granlund(!) all looking good early.

 

[Minnesota]

Zucker/Vegas/Golden Knights reference.

 

[melinko]

Its surprising how comfortable Graovac has looked this year after being meh in the preseason.

 

[Minnesota]

St. Louis DJ playing Blue Oyster Cult.

Prosser's moustache will give me nightmares.

 

[Minnesota]

Doob-knee-ack looks shaky early. Giving up rebounds.

Dubnyk's back. Swallowing up everything.

Edit: He's ****ing good.

 

[Minnesota]

Stewart with a nice shift. Big pressure on the forecheck and a couple hits.

Baby steps.

 

[gphr513]

Mikoooooo!

 

[melinko]

Nice! like to see Koivu score goals like that.
