When: 7:05 tonight.
Where: Savvis Center
TV: FSN Midwest
BLUES PREVIEW
The Blues are looking for their first point of the regular season after a 7-6 loss to San Jose on Saturday. Goalie Patrick Lalime has surrendered 15 goals in just three games, but Lalime earned praise for his play against the Sharks. The Blues have struggled with their defensive positioning. Defenseman Barret Jackman may return to the lineup tonight. Jackman passed his evaluation Monday, but the decision to play him will be made today.
BLACKHAWKS PREVIEW
The Blackhawks made two major moves in the free-agency period to bolster their defense, and the early results have been mixed. Goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin has been mediocre through three games. He has a 3.71 goals-against average with an .853 save percentage. Team captain Adrian Aucoin has a sore groin and is doubtful for tonight's game.
KEY STAT
4 - Chicago right winger Pavel Vorobiev leads the NHL with four goals in three games. Before this season, the 23-year-old had one goal in 18 games with the Blackhawks in 2003-04.
INJURIES
Blues: F Keith Tkachuk (groin), doubtful; D Barret Jackman (shoulder), questionable; D Matt Walker (foot), out; RW Eric Boguniecki (shoulder), out.
Blackhawks: D Adrian Aucoin (groin), doubtful; LW Eric Daze (back), out.[/b][/quote]
