St. Louis Blues News & Notes:
The St. Louis Blues roll into Canada Life Centre with a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games played and are currently on a two-game winning streak. The Blues, a team that made some significant changes at the trade deadline, aims to spoil Winnipeg’s playoff push tonight as they catch Winnipeg on night two of a back-to-back.
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
Winnipeg is coming off a big 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche, and they’ll look to carry that over tonight against St. Louis. Winnipeg currently sits six points out of a wildcard spot, and a win over St. Louis could close that gap to four games. Winnipeg is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games played.

Players To Watch:
St. Louis Blues
Robert Thomas is the Blues’ top guy and leader now that former captain Brayden Schenn has been traded to the Islanders. Thomas will be the Blues’ key to success if they want to continue their winning ways and spoil Winnipeg’s playoff push.
Winnipeg Jets
Jonathan Toews has been quiet over the last stretch of games for Winnipeg, and he’s shown flashes of being a strong contributor for the Jets this season. A big factor for the Jets winning games relies on whether they get secondary scoring or not, and Toews being a big piece to that secondary scoring mix can drive a possible win for the Jets tonight.
