The St. Louis Blues are up against somewhat of a mirror image tonight. They face the Florida Panthers.
While there are many things not similar about the teams – one has a future Hall of Fame goaltender and the other has an up and comer, one team is slightly aging and the other is transitioning from old to new guard – they are very similar in other respects.
Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning. The Blues are trying to hold onto the third spot in the Central Division and the Panthers are trying to get back into the Wild Card.
