Blues bring strong penalty kill to Ottawa for road-trip opener
St. Louis has killed 14 of 15 penalties as it visits a Senators team coming off its third consecutive win.
The St. Louis Blues open a three-game road trip against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at Canadian Tire Centre. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.
St. Louis arrives with a penalty kill that has allowed one goal in 15 opportunities through its first 5 games, according to the club’s preview. The Blues kept opponents from scoring on the power play in four of those games.
The Blues are 2-2-1 after Saturday’s 5–3 comeback win over Columbus ended a three-game losing streak and gave them their first home victory of the season. Dylan Holloway recorded three assists in that game, his first points of the season.
Ottawa is 5-1-0 and plays for the second consecutive night after Monday’s 4–1 win in New Jersey. The Senators have won three straight, and Tim Stützle has five goals and five assists through 6 games.
Tuesday is the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. The game will be shown on Blue Note+, with radio coverage on 101 ESPN.
