Preview: Blues vs. Islanders

On a Streak:

The St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders will meet for the second and final time this season as the Blues look to keep the wins coming. 

The Blues return home from a 4-0 road trip, most recently earning a dominant 4–0 shutout against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. The victory also marked just the third time in franchise history that St. Louis has completed a perfect four-game road trip sweep.

New York enters the contest in the final game of its own four-game road swing, aiming to continue building momentum in its post-break playoff push. The Islanders have won four of their last six games and currently hold the third playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division with 77 points.

It will be an emotional night as St. Louis welcomes back Brayden Schenn. The former Blues captain will be making his first trip to Enterprise Center as a visitor since being traded at the deadline last week. The forward played 17:26 in his Islanders debut, a 2-1 overtime win in San Jose on Saturday.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

BLUES: JONATHAN DROUIN

Trade deadline acquisition Jonathan Drouin hopes to provide a spark for the St. Louis Blues after joining the team via the Schenn deal. Drouin made his debut with St. Louis on Sunday against Anaheim, scoring his first goal as a Blue. The veteran forward has recorded two points over his last three games (1g, 1a), split between the Blues and the Islanders.

ISLANDERS:  MATTHEW SCHAEFER

Rookie Matthew Schaefer has delivered exactly the consistency the Islanders hoped for when they drafted him. The young defenseman is heating up with five points in his last four games (2g, 3a) and now sits at 46 points on the season (20g, 26a). Schaefer ranks third among all NHL rookies and first among rookie defensemen in points and leads all rookies in ice time (24:16).

BLUES BUZZ

• Doug Armstrong will serve his 1,600th career game as a GM on Tuesday. He will become the 16th GM in NHL history to reach that mark as he matches Bobby Clarke for 15th-most all time.
• Joel Hofer stopped all 22 shots he faced on Sunday at Anaheim for his 16th win of the season and his fifth shutout of the season. Hofer ranks second in the NHL in shutouts, trailing only the Islanders' Ilya Sorokin (6).
• Jimmy Snuggerud scored his 12th goal of the season and added his 17th assist on Sunday at Anaheim, giving him back-to-back multi-point games (2g, 2a) for the first time in his career.
