The St. Louis Blues have enjoyed a progressive period in the NHL, winning each of their last two.
However, they remain seventh in the Central Division. The Blues have gone 9-10-7 this season, and have gone 4-2-4 across their last ten.
But, confidence would have been gained following an impressive showing in their latest outing, as they recorded a 1-0 win over the Utah Mammoth. Dylan Holloway scored the game-clinching goal on that occasion.

There will be slight pressure on the Anaheim Ducks this week, as they bid to get their form back on track after losing six of their last ten in regulation.

They will need to quickly pick themsleves up following that defeat on Sunday.
| TOTAL | Ducks | Blues | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 116 | 49 | 62 | - |
| GOALS | 681 | 314 | 367 |

Meanwhile, they have also won 55% of the clashes between the sides at the Enterprise Center. Based on their reliable recent form, the home win is preferred when making Ducks vs. Blues picks.
