DALLAS The St. Louis Blues and Dallas Stars meet for the fifth and final time in the regular season on Saturday afternoon at American Airlines Center Ed Dickson Jersey Elite , and both sides know exactly what to expect from this Central Division matchup.
Big game, Blue coach Mike Yeo said after practice on Friday. Weve got a big road trip and every game on this trip is big. Always the first game of a trips always a big one. Theyre playing well. Weve had tight games against them every game in their building, in our building. Theyve been intense. I think special teams is going to be a real important part of the game tomorrow and well have to be ready to go.
St. Louis (35-26-4, 74 points) edged the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 at Scottrade Center, which ended a seven-game losing streak and was just the Blues third win in their past 10 contests (3-6-1).

The Blues, who are 15-12-4 away from home and start a four-game trip in Dallas Wholesale Martavis Bryant Jersey , defeated the Stars in each of their first two meetings of the season, both in St. Louis 4-2 on Oct. 7 and 3-0 on Dec. 7.
However, its been a much different story in Dallas as the Stars have won both meetings in the Lone Star State: 4-2 on Dec. 29 and 2-1 on Feb. 16.
Its going to be a big one, Blues center Kyle Brodziak said. We know what the standings look like. I think guys are going to be excited for it. Just another opportunity to play a hockey game and hopefully well play it well.
Yeo wouldnt designate a starting goaltender for Saturdays matinee, but the prevailing thought is that he will go with backup Carter Hutton over starter Jake Allen.
The Blues are 9-9-2 against the rest of the Central. St. Louis could get defenseman Robert Bortuzzo, out the past five games with a lower-body injury Vinny Curry Jersey Elite , back for Saturdays game.
Dallas (36-23-5, 77 points) is currently 1-1-1 through three games of its five-game homestand, including a 5-4 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday.
One part of that overtime loss to the Lightning which pleased first-year Stars coach Ken Hitchcock was seeing his team overcome a 4-2 deficit after 40 minutes to tie the game, force overtime and come away with a point.
Such late comebacks have been a rarity for Dallas this season. The Stars are just 1-18-2 when trailing after two periods of play.
Well, we played a strong territorial game (in the third period), Hitchcock said Friday after practice. We ground out I think seven or eight scoring chances in the third and two goals. Its an exhausting way to play because theres not a lot of energy when youre mounting a comeback like that Adidas Filip Forsberg Jersey , but you feel good confidence-wise that you can do it again. I think thats the biggest thing, we worked our way back in that game.
Hitchcock designated Ben Bishop as his starting goaltender against St. Louis.
The Blues are 1-1-0 since trading forward Paul Stastny to Winnipeg at the trade deadline early last week, but Hitchcock, who coached the Blues until last winter, feels theyve come together nicely after such a big move.
Well, you either go up or down Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jersey Elite , and theres no in-between (after a team makes a trade like that), Hitchcock said. It looks like they gathered themselves in. Theyre thinking they can get within a point here and were thinking that we can create five points, so its a big game obviously.
