VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks both will be trying to snap losing streaks when they meet Wednesday.

The Blues have lost five straight games, while the Canucks have dropped four in a row. Vancouver has lost three consecutive games at home after going 12-0-2 in its previous 14 contests on home ice.

St. Louis is 1-0-1 this season in a pair of home games against the Canucks this season. The Blues have picked up at least one point in nine of the last 10 meetings, going 6-1-3 against Vancouver.

St. Louis is coming off a pair of losses to Nashville, losing 5-2 on Saturday at home before dropping a 6-3 road contest on Monday.

In those games, goaltender Manny Legace allowed nine goals on 41 shots. Legace (17-12-3, 2.24 goals-against average) has been named to the Western Conference All-Star team for the first time, but has allowed 12 goals in losing his last three starts against the Canucks.

Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo, who was selected to to the All-Star team but will not play, also has been struggling. He has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six starts.
