Two Western Conference sides that will both be chasing a return to form will collide in the NHL on Dec 17. You can find the odds and our Jets vs. Blues picks here.
St. Louis sit second-bottom in the Central Division standings, having accumulated an overall record of 12-15-7 this term. Meanwhile, the pressure will be on to respond following a defeat in their previous game.
The Jets have also struggled for wins in recent weeks, going 3-5-2 in their last ten and losing their latest outing. But, which team will bounce back to winning form on Wednesday?
The St. Louis Blues will have pressure on their shoulders as the home team this week. They have won five of their last ten, but they have also suffered the same number of defeats in regulation time.
The Blues were swatted aside in their latest outing on Monday, as they were beaten 5-2 at Enterprise Center by the Nashville Predators.
That loss means that the Blues have now conceded a staggering 123 goals in 34 games this season.

The Winnipeg Jets will also be on the comeback trail this weekend after winning just three of their last ten games.
Over the same period, Winnipeg have suffered five defeats in regulation time. They also come into this clash on the road following a loss in their latest game against the Ottawa Senators.
Despite leading 2-1 going into the final period, Winnipeg conceded in the third frame and later conceded the crucial effort in overtime. Logan Stanley and Neal Pionk scored the goals in the loss.
| TOTAL | Jets | Blues | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 75 | 39 | 35 | - |
| GOALS | 426 | 220 | 206 |
The Jets have an interesting strike-rate against the Blues, winning 52% of the overall head-to-head meetings, and 54% of their road games against St. Louis. Based on the inconsistent nature of both teams, that could be a trend worth following on Wednesday.
