The Vancouver Canucks pieced together a three-game winning streak during their homestand, but a more serious test begins tonight when they visit the the St. Louis Blues.
As far as early season road contests go, it doesn’t get much tougher than this. The Blues are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they’re off to a 3-1-2 start on the season. 2018-19 hero Jordan Binnington hasn’t hit his stride yet, but it’ll come any day now.
Vancouver won two of the three meetings last year, by scores of 6-1 and 5-1. However, the Blues avoided the season series sweep when they won 3-2 in a shootout, the final game of Vancouver’s 2018-19 season.
