THE OPPONENT

PLAYERS TO WATCH

ST. LOUIS BLUES

Justin Faulk will take center stage tonight as the Blues celebrate his milestone of reaching 1,000 NHL games. Faulk crossed the 1,000-game mark Nov. 18, and Saturday's ceremony offers a special moment to honor his leadership and dedication. On the ice, Faulk remains a steady force on the blue line, tallying six goals and seven assists so far this year. His blend of experience, poise and offensive ability continues to drive the Blues’ backend, making him a fitting spotlight player on a night honoring his impressive career.

UTAH MAMMOTH

Logan Cooley has been one of the league’s breakout stars this season, posting 22 points (13g, 9a) through 24 games. The 21-year-old center brings elite speed and creativity, and he’s already proven he can take over a game — highlighted by his five-point explosion against Vegas earlier this season, where he piled up four goals and an assist. With dynamic puck skills and a scorer’s touch, Cooley is the catalyst of the Mammoth's offense and a major threat for opponents.

BLUE NOTES

• Robert Thomas recorded his 300th career assist on Friday vs. Ottawa. He is the seventh player in franchise history to reach 300 assists and is the second-fastest to do so behind Bernie Federko.
• The Blues have eight goals by rookies this season, which shares fifth in the NHL (1. New York Islanders, 13).
