The Blues have struggled a bit recently vs. a Washington team that has gone on a tear. The Caps have points in 11 straight games - a stretch that included a nine-game win streak. And what's worse, Alex Ovechkin has logged hat tricks in back-to-back games against St. Louis. Overall, the Blues have dropped two consecutive decisions to the Caps, but, prior to that set, they had won three straight. Tonight is an opportunity for the Blues to bounce back and measure themselves against one of the top teams in the league in the process. St. Louis has lost two in-a-row at home but the good news is that they haven't experienced a three-game home losing streak since March 14-30, 2015.
