OTTAWA, Ontario (Interstat) — The struggling St. Louis Blues seek to replicate a recent victory over the Ottawa Senators when the teams meet again Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre. The Blues (9-19-0) snapped a four-game skid with a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Nov. 28 in St. Louis but have dropped two straight since, including a 5-2 loss at Boston on Thursday. They open a two-game Canadian road trip in Ottawa before visiting Montreal on Sunday. Ottawa (13-14-0) is looking to rebound on home ice after a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday halted a two-game win streak. The Senators sit just below the .500 mark but have been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses frequently over the past three weeks. A key player to watch for St. Louis is forward Pius Suter, who scored a goal on a team-high five shots in the loss to Boston. He also recorded an assist in the Blues’ win over the Senators last week. For Ottawa, forward Michael Amadio will aim to build on his recent playmaking; he has assists in two of his last four games, including one in the previous meeting with St. Louis. The Blues’ offense has sputtered, scoring two or fewer goals in regulation in eight of their last ten games. Goaltending and defensive consistency remain issues for a team with the second-fewest points in the league. Ottawa, while uneven, has shown a stronger ability to generate offense, led by contributors like Drake Batherson, who had a goal and an assist against the Rangers. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the projected final score is Ottawa 3, St. Louis 1. The game is the front end of a back-to-back for St. Louis. Ottawa continues a homestand before hosting New Jersey on Tuesday.
