Blues Last Game: 4-2 Loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on January 10

Last Time Out...

• The Canes crawled out of a three-goal deficit last night in Detroit, forcing overtime and earning a point before eventually falling 4-3.
• Striking on the power play, then shorthanded, and then on the power play again, Jackson Blake, Seth Jarvis, and Shayne Gostisbehere, respectively, showcased Carolina's resiliency through special teams play.
• Frederik Andersen suffered the loss in net, allowing four goals on 18 shots.

Special Special Teams...

• Going 2-for-5 on the man advantage last night, it was the sixth contest this season in which Carolina has had multiple power-play goals. All six performances have come in the last 36 games.
• Three of those outings have come since the start of the new year, a total that leads all NHL clubs in that span.
• On the year, it's a four-way tie for the team lead in man-advantage markers - Sebastian Aho, Nikolaj Ehlers, Shayne Gostisbehere and Andrei Svechnikov have each potted four apiece.

In Net...

• With Frederik Andersen starting last night in Detroit, the Canes are expected to turn to Brandon Bussi this evening.
• It's been a historic start to the 27-year-old's NHL career, going 16-2-1 in his first 19 appearances.
• He was victorious in his last start, stopping 10 out of 12 shots faced on Saturday in Raleigh against the Seattle Kraken.

On The Other Side...

• Returning home after going 0-for-3 on the road last week, the Blues allowed 15 goals in their trio of losses. A trend that has been with them throughout the whole season, only the San Jose Sharks (3.50), Vancouver Canucks (3.57), and Anaheim Ducks (3.73) allow more goals on a per-game basis than the Blues (3.46).
• While the responsibility does not fall solely on his shoulders, it has not been the season that goaltender Jordan Binnington had hoped for. With a record of 8-12-6 in 27 appearances thus far, his .871 save percentage ranks dead last among all 24 goalies who have played at least 25 games this season.
• The group in front of him has had trouble creating offense this season, ranking 32nd with their average of 24.7 shots per game.
• As for things that have gone well for the team this season, former Hurricane Justin Faulk co-leads the team in scoring with his 11 goals.

Injury Updates...

• Forward William Carrier did not play on Monday due to a lower-body injury.
• Forward Noah Philp entered concussion protocol on Jan. 6. He has missed the team's last two games.
• Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is set to undergo hip surgery and was declared "probably out for the year" by Rod Brind'Amour on Dec. 29.
• Defenseman Charles Alexis Legault suffered a cut to his hand via a skate blade on Nov. 9 and underwent surgery to repair lacerated tendons on Nov. 10. He is expected to miss three to four months.
