Final
Blues seek third straight victory vs. Senators
Jan 29, 2009 - 11:25 AM Ottawa (16-22-7) at St. Louis (19-23-4), 8:30 p.m. ESTST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The St. Louis Blues ended the first half of the season on a high note and hope to continue that trend as they begin their schedule following the All-Star break.
Looking to notch their first three-game winning streak in over two months, the Blues host the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
St. Louis has the fewest points in the Western Conference, and having seven players on the shelf - including Paul Kariya, Andy McDonald, and defensemen Eric Brewer and Erik Johnson - has not helped.
Yet the Blues, who are coming off a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on January 21, have won three of four and will play five of their next seven games at home.
They have also gotten at least a point in four straight games for the first time since November 14-25, 2008.
Ottawa, which has scored two or fewer goals in 25 of 45 games this season, had won three in a row before falling, 4-1, to the torrid New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
The Senators may count on rookie netminder Brian Elliott to make his eighth consecutive start as they begin a three-game road trip.
