Game Notes: March 3 at Winnipeg

The Blues will visit the Jets Friday for the first game of a three-game road trip. St. Louis is winless against Winnipeg this season, including a 5-3 loss on Jan. 31 in St. Louis most recently. The Blues have felt right at home at MTS Centre since the Jets were reborn, going 6-1-2 in their nine all-time visits. The power play has been strong in their recent trips to Manitoba, scoring on four of their last 13 chances over their last three trips. Following Friday's game, the Blues will visit the Colorado Avalanche before a date with the Western Conference-leading Minnesota Wild next Tuesday.

What to Watch

Ryan Reaves will experience a pretty cool milestone in his hometown tonight. He will dress in his 400th career game, becoming the 34th player to reach that plateau with the Blues. This will be Reaves' ninth career outing at MTS Centre. In his previous eight games there, he's logged a goal and an assist along with four penalty minutes. Fans will also want to keep an eye on recently acquired forward Zach Sanford and recently-recalled defenseman Jordan Schmaltz. Sanford could make his Blues debut and Schmaltz could make his NHL debut.
