Kevin Shattenkirk has a goal in back-to-back games and will be looking to make it three straight for the first time in his career. The Blues' PK went 5-for-5 on Thursday against Detroit and now ranks second overall at 92.9 percent for the season. However, it's the power play, which has connected in three of the last four games, that should be licking its chops as the Kings are 24th overall with a 73.9 percent penalty kill.
The Blues are 15-6-2 in the regular season on Saturdays dating back to 2015-16
Not a normal center, David Perron has won 45.8 percent of his draws and with 11 wins overall, has almost matched his previous single season career high (13 in 2013-14)
Vladimir Tarasenko shares first overall with 40 shots on goal this season (Brent Burns). Last year, his 292 reg. season shots were the most by a Blue since Al MacInnis in 2002-03 (299)
Jay Bouwmeester is dressing in regular season game No. 999 tonight
