ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The San Jose Sharks play the second contest of a season-high eight-game road trip against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.

San Jose, which is 2-4-1 in its last seven games, trails the first-place Anaheim Ducks by three points in the Pacific Division. The Sharks' next home game is against Anaheim on February 26.

The Sharks got a split of a home-and-home series with the Ducks with a 3-2 win last Wednesday. Reigning Maurice Richard Trophy winner Jonathan Cheechoo scored twice.

Cheechoo has 19 goals this season, including four in his last two games. He tallied twice in a 7-4 loss to Anaheim last Tuesday.

St. Louis is 2-4-1 in its last seven games.

The Blues fell to the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-3, last Saturday. Keith Tkachuk had a goal and an assist and has six points in his last seven games.

Goaltender Manny Legace, who did not play against the Flyers, is on a roll. He is 8-3-1 in his last 12 starts and has allowed 26 goals. Legace is 1-1-1 with a 2.33 goals-against average in three starts against San Jose this season.
