We get to see Keith Tkachuk's boy Matthew tonight. He played in griffin's new, adopted hometown, Nashville, last night. He scored a goal in the 3rd and sealed the win with a shootout goal. That kid is pretty solid!!

The Blues have to take advantage of some tired legs tonight. The Flames played into OT and a shootout last night. And they really aren't a great team anyway. An up-tempo game and a little extra jump in their step should benefit the Blues, especially in the 2nd and 3rd periods. If Allen is strong and the Blues play a solid game, this should be 2 pts.

Supposedly, they have been working on the PP and PK the last 3 days. We'll see. If it doesn't improve, they are in for a loooong season. Apparently, the NHL wants more and more special teams play. If that is the case and it appears to be, you better have good special teams.

My prediction: Blues 4 Flames 1

Go Blues!!
