Pittsburgh Penguins (5-4-2, 12 pts ) at St Louis Blues (5-4-0, 10 pts ) Both of these teams are struggling right now. The Pens have lost three in a row, while the Blues have lost three of the past four. The formula to stopping the Blues this year is pretty simple - keep their power play in check. When they score two or more on the power play, they are 4-1. When they score fewer than two, they are 1-3....

Gillis signed St Louis Blue David Backes to a three year, $7.5 million offer sheet. While I believe that signing
