Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, the St. Louis Blues (22-6-3, 47 points) and Ottawa Senators (13-15-6, 32 points) hit the ice at the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa for the first of two meetings against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. St. Louis fans can hear all of the bone-crunching action on KMOX 1120 while Ottawa fans can do the same on TSN 1200.
St. Louis enters play having won three straight and four out of their last five as their six regulation losses are tied for the least in the league while Ottawa enters play looking to bounce back from a tough loss.
The Blues latest win was a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
"I think everybody had a piece in every part of this game, their team and our team," coach Ken Hitchcock said per NHL.com.
The Blues have been led by Alex Steen who is second in the league with 22 goals while adding 13 assists for a team-high 35 points while David Backes has 18 tallies and 14 helpers for 30 points and T.J. Oshie has found the twine four times and added 23 assists for 27 points.
The Senators are coming off of a rough loss to the Los Angeles Kings by a 5-2 margin on Saturday that saw goaltender Craig Anderson allow two goals on four shots just over four minutes into the game before getting pulled for Robin Lehner.
Lehner will start tonight and is 4-7-3 with a 2.42 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage.
"We felt Robin would give us the best chance today," coach Paul MacLean told NHL.com.
The Blues will counter with former Senator Brian Elliott, who is 6-1-1 with a 2.14 GAA and a .913 save percentage.
Elliott will look to stop an Ottawa threat that is led by Bobby Ryan, who has 30 points off of 15 goals and 15 assists while Erik Karlsson also has 30 points off of nine goals and 21 assists and Jason Spezza has 10 tallies and 18 helpers for 28 points.
The Blues look to keep on winning while the Senators try to bounce back from a tough loss when these teams go head-to-head tonight in Ottawa.
