Blues Host Wild in Season Finale at Enterprise Center ST. LOUIS (Interstat) β€” The St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild will conclude their regular seasons Monday night at Enterprise Center in a matchup of Central Division teams heading in opposite directions. The Wild (45-35-0) arrive in St. Louis having secured a playoff berth, while the Blues (34-45-0) were eliminated from postseason contention weeks ago. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. CDT. Minnesota aims to regain momentum after a 2-1 road loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday snapped a four-game winning streak. The Wild had previously won five of their last six, showcasing the form that propelled them into the playoff picture. Forward Michael McCarron, a player to watch for Minnesota, scored the team’s lone goal in the Nashville loss. He has recorded a goal, six shots on net and nine hits over his last six games. St. Louis enters on a positive note after a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. Goaltender Joel Hofer, expected to start Monday, made 32 saves in that win. Hofer has been a bright spot during a difficult season, posting a 3-1-1 record with a .925 save percentage over his last five appearances. The season series between the clubs is split 1-1. The Blues earned a 3-1 victory in Minnesota on March 1, but were shut out 5-0 by the Wild in St. Louis in their first meeting back on Oct. 9, 2025. For the Wild, the game serves as a final tune-up before the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin later this week. They will look to fine-tune special teams and defensive structure after allowing five goals in a loss at Dallas last week. The Blues, playing for pride and evaluation, will aim to close a disappointing campaign on a high note in front of their home fans. Following the game, Minnesota will travel home to host the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. St. Louis will remain home to face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday before traveling to play the Utah Mammoth on Thursday.
