Blues Look to Sweep Season Series in Chicago Rematch

The Blues roll back into the United Center on Saturday having already taken care of business just two nights ago, blanking the Blackhawks 1-0 in the season opener. St. Louis looked sharp defensively in that one, cashing DarkHorse's Blues +1.5 pick with room to spare, and now they've got Chicago on a short turnaround with confidence already in their pocket.

The Blackhawks couldn't solve the Blues' netminder last time out and managed zero goals on home ice—not exactly the start you want when you're trying to prove you've turned a corner. Chicago's offense looked disjointed, and unless they've found some magic in the last 48 hours, this could get ugly again. St. Louis knows they can frustrate this lineup, and they'll lean on that same defensive structure that shut the door on Wednesday.

DarkHorse hasn't dropped a pick for this one yet, but the Blues have to feel good about their chances to go 2-0 in the early season series. Chicago needs to show something—anything—offensively, or this is going to be a long night at the United Center. The Blues have the momentum, the blueprint, and the belief. The Blackhawks? They've got desperation, and that's about it.
