Blackhawks vs Blues

The St. Louis Blues, despite their up-and-down season, are positioned well to take control against their longtime rivals, the struggling Chicago Blackhawks. St. Louis enters this matchup with a stronger offensive core led by Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, while Chicago continues to rely heavily on rookie phenom Connor Bedard to carry their offense. The Blackhawks have lost six of their last eight games, often by multiple goals, and their defensive struggles, combined with inconsistent goaltending, make it difficult for them to keep games close. Meanwhile, the Blues have been solid at home, winning four of their last six at Enterprise Center, and should exploit Chicago’s defensive weaknesses.
