The set-up: The 21-16-5 St. Louis Blues will be in San Jose tonight to take on the 25-15-2 Sharks. The Blues are playing the second of a three-game swing through California, while the Sharks begin a seven-day stretch in which San Jose will play four games at home and one in Los Angeles.
St. Louis: The Blues are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, their second straight loss and third in four games. St. Louis needs to improve its road play, as with a 5-11-1 record, the Blues are tied with the Canucks and Coyotes for the fewest road wins in the Western Conference. "This isn't one guy or two guys. This is a collective effort that, we need to be better," captain Alex Pietrangelo said. Goalie Jake Allen is 17-11-3 but he's been pulled early in each of his last two starts, after surrendering six goals on 26 shots over just 45 minutes!
San Jose: The Sharks return home after splitting two games in Alberta, a trek during which it posted a 5-3 victory at Edmonton on Tuesday but dropped a 3-2 decision in Calgary the following night. The Sharks fell two points behind Anaheim for first place in the Pacific Division with the setback and are just one ahead of the Oilers but they have two games in hand on both clubs.The Sharks announced Friday that Dylan DeMelo suffered a broken right wrist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. DeMelo, who has a goal and three assists in 14 games, underwent surgery Thursday and will miss eight weeks. Also on Friday, Mirco Mueller was reassigned to San Jose of the American Hockey League. Mueller, the Sharks' first-round pick in the 2013 draft, had a goal and an assist in three games.
The pick: Jake Allen has won only three of his last 11 starts (3-7-0) and has been pulled in two straight and three of his last five. However, he is 1-0-1 with a 2.87 goals-against average in San Jose during his career. Meanwhile, the Sharks are just 2-4-1 in their last seven regular-season games against the Blues at SAP Center. San Jose goalie Martin Jones has yielded 10 goals en route to a 1-1-1 record this month in San Jose but his first 14 home games, gave up a total of just 22 goals while posting a 10-4-0 record. The Under is a 10* play.
