The Blues are really stressing defense following the coaching change from Ken Hitchcock to Mike Yeo. That was evident in the Blues' first game under Yeo when they held the Maple Leafs to just one goal in their last game.

The Penguins have gotten healthy on defense. They've surrendered two or fewer goals in four of their last seven games.

The two teams just met on Jan. 24 in Pittsburgh and the Blues won, 3-0, behind goalie Carter Hutton, who could get the call today.
