WHAT TO WATCH
The Blues will end their six-game West Coast road trip in the same place they began it – in San Jose at SAP Center.
Will Jordan Binnington get a chance at redemption after being pulled in the first game? Remember, Binnington stirred things up at the Sharks bench, with defenseman Erik Karlsson and goalie Devan Dubnyk on his way off the ice.
WHO’S HOT
– David Perron is on a season-high six-game point streak (four goals, four assists) and has the second-longest active streak in the League behind Chicago’s Alex Debrincat (eight games).
– Brayden Schenn has four goals and four assists over his last nine games and has 11 goals on the season, which shares 14th in the League.

THEY SAID IT
“We have a chance to make this a heck of a road trip, and San Jose is not going to be happy with the last time they played us. We’re going to expect a tough game going into their rink.” – Brayden Schenn, on potential to finish the road trip with a 5-0-1 record
