St. Louis Blues Set for Three-Game Homestand Against Capitals The St. Louis Blues will open their three-game home stand on Tuesday night with a matchup against the Washington Capitals. The game, scheduled for 7 p.m., marks the teams’ second meeting of the season, following a November contest in Washington where the Capitals secured a 6-1 victory. The Blues, who have posted a 7-1-2 record in their past nine games, are looking to build momentum as they face off against Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals. The Blues’ lineup includes the return of Jonathan Bergman, who will replace Jonathan Drouin in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in the previous two games. Goalie Joel Hofer is expected to start in net for the Blues, though there is some uncertainty regarding the Capitals’ goaltending situation. Reports indicate that Logan Thompson may take the starting role for Washington, replacing Charlie Lindgren, who was the first goalie off the ice for the Capitals earlier in the day. The Blues currently sit at 28-30-11 on the season, eight points behind the Nashville Predators for the final wild-card spot. With just 13 games remaining in the regular season, the team faces a challenging task to close the gap. The game against the Capitals will be a critical test as they aim to strengthen their position in the playoff race. The Blues’ recent performance has been marked by strong goaltending, with Hofer emerging as a key factor in their success. The team’s offensive line, featuring players like Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours, has also shown consistency, contributing to their winning streak.#st_louis_blues #washington_capitals #alex_ovechkin #jonathan_bergman #jordan_kyrou
