VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Suddenly, the Vancouver Canucks can score and the St. Louis Blues can't.
That situation offers an aura of intrigue as the Canucks (15-16-5) and Blues (22-13-2), who are both struggling, get set to face off Saturday at Rogers Arena. Two scenarios could result based on the way each team has been playing lately.
The game could turn into a pond hockey match like the ones in which the Canucks have found themselves. Or, it could be a low-scoring affair in keeping with the type of game that the Blues have played recently.
