Steve Ott / 2. Colton Parayko / 3. Vladimir Tarasenko-Colton Parayko scored the game-winning goal and now shares the League lead among defensemen with four goals overall (JustinFaulk) -Vladimir Tarasenko notched his team-leading sixth goal of the season-Steve Ott tallied an assist – his second in the last three games – and doled out a season-high four hits-Scott Gomez and Ty Rattie both notched assists. For Gomez, it was the 750th point of his career. For Rattie, it was his third careerNHL assist, and first this season-Jori Lehtera grabbed his team-leading sixth assist of the year-Jake Allen collected his second consecutive win. He has allowed just one goal on 49 shots over his last two starts (3-2-0, 2.01 GAA,.928 SV% for the year) BLUES VS. WILDThe Blues have dropped three straight to the Wild since beating them 6-1 in game four of last year’s first round playoff series. In thefirst installment of this season’s series, the Wild outlasted the Blues 3-2 (Oct. 10) despite the Blues tallying a 32-19 advantage in shots,including 13-1 mark in the third period.

Thus far, the Blues have managed a 6-1-0 record against Western competition while averaging 3.29goals per game and allowing just 2.14. Vladimir Tarasenko has logged all 10 of his points vs. the West this season, while WSH’sEvgeny Kuznetsov (11 pts) is the only player with a higher total in that category. In the net, Brian Elliott is 4-0-0 vs. the West, includinga 2.01 GAA and a .918 sv%, while Jake Allen is 2-1-0 with a 2.35 GAA and a .908 sv%. HOME, HOME AGAINSt. Louis is 3-0-1 at Scottrade Center this season, while they remain one of four teams yet to be beaten in regulation on home ice thisseason (MTL, NSH, MIN). The Blues have been the NHL’s second-best home team since Ken Hitchcock took the reins during the2011-12 season. They have outscored visitors by a total of 127 goals – 2nd only to Boston (+139) – while accruing a League-leading24 shutouts in the process.Best Home Records Since 2011-12Chicago, 101-31-21 (.729)St. Louis, 103-35-13 (.725)Pittsburgh, 102-41-10 (.699) ALLEN FEELS RIGHT, AT HOMEJake Allen posted his 6th career shutout on Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay and followed that with a 22-save victory over the Ducks onThursday, giving him a perfect 2-0-0 record at Scottrade Center this season. Allen has been stout at home recently, posting a 5-3-0record, a 1.39 GAA and a .942 SV% over his last eight starts (including the 2015 postseason), while allowing more than two goals justonce in that span. Since making his first career home start on Feb. 9, 2013, Allen’s .696 (19-8-1) home win% (reg. + postseason) is 6thamongst all goalies with at least 20 starts over that span (Brian Elliott is 2nd at .713). PARAYKO MAKES PRESENCE FELTRookie defenseman Colton Parayko has five points in his last five games (2g, 3a), including his second game-winning goal of the yearin Thursday’s win over the Ducks. In just 10 games, the St. Albert, Alberta, native has become only the third defenseman in Blueshistory to post two game-winning goals in his rookie season (2 in Brian Benning 1986-87, 3 in Erik Johnson 2007-08). In addition, headded a single-game Blues rookie record 10 shots on goal, while becoming the first NHL rookie overall to post 10 shots in a game sinceAlex Ovechkin (Apr. 7, 2006). Below is a look at where the 6’6, 226-pound blueliner figures in a few statistical categories…

HEY MAN, NICE SHOTThe Blues rank 3rd overall in shots per game (32.9) and in shots allowed per game (25.7). The Blues also lead the NHL in shotattempts differential in 5-on-5 play – posting a +110 (473 for / 363 against) surplus. Individually, Vladimir Tarasenko leads the teamand shares the NHL lead overall with 46 shots on goal (Radim Vrbata), while defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (212) has been on the icefor more team shot attempts (5-on-5) than any other player. DRAWING THE LONG STRAWThe Blues rank 3rd overall with a 52.7% success rate in the faceoff circle this season. For a further breakdown, they are 3rd in theoffensive zone (53.8%), 13th in the defensive zone (50.2%) and 4th in the neutral zone (54.1%). Kyle Brodziak leads the club andranks 9th overall with a 59.4% success rate, a far cry from his 49.5% career average. Last season, the Blues were the second bestfaceoff team, posting a 53.4% success rate that trailed only Boston’s 53.6%. From a franchise perspective, it was the best faceoffseason on record, and by a wide margin, trumping the next best mark (2000-01 and 2013-14, 51.9%) by almost 2%.

IMPORTANCE OF A FAST START The Western Conference is demanding. In 2014-15, the conference produced six 100-point teams for the second consecutive season. What’s more, it kept a 95-point Los Angeles Kings club out of the playoff picture – just the third time since 1995-96 (start of 82-gameslate) that a team that garnered as many points was forced to start vacation early. That being said, a good start to the season isessential. Consider that of the eight playoff teams last season, only Winnipeg (4-5-1) got off to a sub .500 10-game start. As for theothers, they combined to go 45-20-5 in their first 10 outings. On the flip side, the six teams that missed the postseason combined for a24-23-13 start – a record that is slightly inflated by the aforementioned Kings’ 6-2-2 mark out-of-the-gate.Best 10-Game Starts in Blues History2002-03: 8-1-12013-14: 7-1-22010-11: 7-1-22015-16: 7-2-1 **3 other 7-2-1 starts: 2000-01, 1997-98, 1993-94 THAT’S A WRAPThe Blues etched another memorable regular season in 2014-15, in fact, in terms of points, it was tied for the third best mark infranchise history (51-24-7, 109 pts). The culmination of the season brought the Blues the Central Division Championship, their seconddivision title in the last four years and the ninth in club history overall. Since 2011-12, and under the direction of GM Doug Armstrongand Head Coach Ken Hitchcock, the Blues have posted three of the top four regular seasons in franchise history1999-00 – 114 pts2013-14 – 111 pts2014-15 – 109 pts2011-12 – 109 pts HITCHCOCK IN EXCLUSIVE COMPANY (Reg.
