Preview: Blues at Ducks

Quack the code:

The St. Louis Blues continue their four-game road trip with their third stop, taking on the Anaheim Ducks on Friday. St. Louis is 0-1-1 so far on the trip after hard-fought losses against the San Jose Sharks on Monday and Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. 

Anaheim enters the matchup on a three-game losing streak, most recently falling 4–3 to the Sharks. Despite the recent slide, the Ducks currently hold the top spot in the Pacific Division with 87 points and will look to stay in control with seven games remaining. 

This marks the third and final meeting between the teams this season, with the series split. The Blues have had the edge in recent history, winning 11 of their last 12 matchups against the Ducks, including six straight wins at Honda Center.

St. Louis sits four points out of a playoff spot with eight games remaining. With both teams battling down the stretch, the Blues will look to ruffle some feathers and pick up a crucial win.
