A ;pause that refreshes, perhaps, as the Blues have had five days to catch their breath after a grueling five-games-in-eight-days span last week. Playoff hopes in St Louis have been revived, however, by six wins in eight, and 13 points across those games, with defense exceptionally good. Only 18 goals allowed in regulation time across that span (six in one game by the Stars), and Jordan Binnington is back in the nets tonight, having won seven of his last eight starts. The current buzz in Pittsburgh is GK Tristan Jarry having returned to active duty and looking good when recording a 1.49 GAA in wins over the Wild and VGK, but the Pens had lost eight of nine prior and still aren't scoring a lot of goals (just 7 across the past four games).
