Nick Bonino /. Ryan Miller /. Chris Higgins --Kevin Shattenkirk notched a power play goal, his first goal of the season overall. He now has five power play points on the year (- 4-5), which shares the League lead among defensemen. Last season, he shared fourth among defensemen (with NSH s Shea Weber) with 6 power play points --Alexander Steen played 6: of power play time, the most by any Blue in a game this season --Vladimir Tarasenko shared the team (w/steen) with 4 shots on goal. Tarasenko also had 4 attempts blocked and misses for attempts overall, more than any other player in the game --Jori Lehtera won of 4 faceoffs, vaulting his season percentage to 6.5%, which is third best overall --The Blues won 58% of the faceoffs in the game, marking their best performance this season.

St. Louis will be looking for their first four-game home win streak vs. the Hawks since Mar., 998 to Jan. 7, 999. Coaching Titans Collide (reg. season) Blues Head Coach Ken Hitchcock (659 wins) and Blackhawks Head Coach Joel Quenneville (7 wins) rank second and first respectively among active coaches in career wins. Each coach also figures strongly in Blues lore, as Quenneville is the franchise s all-

9 time leader with 7 wins while Hitchcock slots third with 6. Both coaches have two 5+-win regular seasons on their resumes. Quenneville s first was the 999- Presidents Trophy-winning Blues club that earned 5 wins, which was a franchise record until Hitchcock s Blues broke it with 5 wins last season. Both are also members of the NHL s 6-win club, a group comprised of coaches overall, six of which served behind the Blues bench (Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Mike Keenan, Joel Quenneville, Jacques Martin, Ken Hitchcock) Most Wins, All-Time.

The next closest Blues, David Backes and Paul Stastny, each have eight career tallies. Ott s goal total against Chicago is his highest against any team over his -year career. The Summerside, PEI native is looking for his first goal in a Blues uniform, after joining the club at the trade deadline last season Ells Posts Strong Numbers vs. Hawks (reg. season) Though his 4-5- record may not suggest it, Brian Elliott has posted strong career numbers vs. the Hawks, including a.99 SV% and a.9 GAA, both of which are 6th best among active goaltenders. In addition, two of his four career wins have come in his last two home appearances vs. Chicago, including a 7-save shootout win on Dec. 8, and a -save victory on Apr. 7,. Furthermore, since joining the Blues in -, Scottrade Center has been comfortable for Elliott to say the least. His.756 home win% (-9-4) is the best in the League (among goalies with at least 4 home starts), while his.95 GAA is 4th, his.99 SV% shares 4th and his 7 shutouts share th. It should be noted that Elliott s 7 home shutouts since donning the Blue Note have come in just 44 starts, while every goaltender with 8 or more during that span has at least 57 Reinforcements After placing Paul Stastny on IR yesterday, the Blues recalled Dmitrij Jaskin from their AHL affiliate, Chicago Wolves. Jaskin posted four points (--4) through the Wolves first four games, which shared the team lead.
