As the regular season winds down, the St. Louis Blues are heating up just at the right time. The Blues have won 5 straight and are 12-2-2 over their last 16. This afternoon they will host the Nashville Predators at Enterprise Center. The Preds have nothing to play for and the Blues do. With Calgary breathing down their necks for the last wild card spot, St. Louis cannot afford to lose at home to the inferior Predators and they know it. St. Louis has won both meetings with Nashville this year. The Preds are the worst offensive team in the league, their defense is not much better, and they are a dismal 8-21-5 on the road.
