BOTTOM LINE: The St. Louis Blues will attempt to break a four-game road slide when they play the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo has gone 5-2-2 in home games and 5-4-4 overall. The Sabres have committed 60 total penalties (4.6 per game) to rank seventh in the league.

St. Louis allowed five or more goals for seventh time(!) in 14 games; outworked all night in all facets from start to finish

Coach Jim Montgomery has cited the team's positive analytics a few times lately. But do good underlying numbers mean results will follow?

BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Capitals take on the St. Louis Blues after losing four in a row. Washington is 6-5-1 overall and 3-4-0 at home. The Capitals have a 2-1-0 record in games they have fewer penalties than their opponent.

The Blues were fortunate to exit the first period down only 1-0 after the Capitals outshot them 12-5 in the opening 20 minutes. That included an extended shift in the offensive zone that led to Parayko’s cross-checking penalty and, ultimately, Wilson’s power-play goal.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have acquired defenseman Corey Schueneman from the St. Louis Blues for defenseman Calle Rosen, senior vice president and general manager Chris Patrick announced today. Schueneman will report to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL).
