The St. Louis Blues will try to extend the NHL's longest active winning streak to nine when they play the Colorado Avalanche (3 p.m. ET; ALT, FS-MW, NHL.TV) in one of 12 games on the NHL schedule Saturday.
A victory would give the Blues their first nine-game winning streak since they won nine in a row from Oct. 15-Nov. 5, 2002. The longest winning streak in Blues history is 10 games, from Jan. 3-23, 2002. The longest winning streak in the NHL this season is 10 games by the Sabres from Nov. 8-27, 2018.
The Blues, who were last in the NHL standings on Jan. 2 at 15-18-4 (34 points), are the eighth team in League history -- and the second this season -- to win at least eight in a row after being last in the League (minimum 10 games played). The Philadelphia Flyers were 8-0-0 from Jan. 14-Feb. 4 after being last in the League as late as Jan. 13 (16-23-6, 38 points).
