Thus far, the Blues have managed a 6-- record against Western competition while averaging.9 goals per game and allowing just.. Vladimir Tarasenko has logged all of his points vs. the West this season, while WSH s Evgeny Kuznetsov ( pts) is the only player with a higher total in that category. In the net, Brian Elliott is -- vs. the West, including a. GAA and a.98 sv%, while Jake Allen is -- with a.5 GAA and a.98 sv%. HOME, HOME AGAIN St. Louis is -- at Scottrade Center this season, while they remain one of four teams yet to be beaten in regulation on home ice this season (MTL, NSH, MIN). The Blues have been the NHL s second-best home team since Ken Hitchcock took the reins during the - season. They have outscored visitors by a total of 7 goals nd only to Boston (+9) while accruing a League-leading shutouts in the process. Best Home Records Since - Chicago, -- (.79) St. Louis, -5- (.75) Pittsburgh, -- (.699) ALLEN FEELS RIGHT, AT HOME Jake Allen posted his 6th career shutout on Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay and followed that with a -save victory over the Ducks on Thursday, giving him a perfect -- record at Scottrade Center this season. Allen has been stout at home recently, posting a 5-- record, a.9 GAA and a.9 SV% over his last eight starts (including the 5 postseason), while allowing more than two goals just once in that span. Since making his first career home start on Feb. 9,, Allen s.696 (9-8-) home win% (reg. + postseason) is 6th amongst all goalies with at least starts over that span (Brian Elliott is nd at.7). PARAYKO MAKES PRESENCE FELT Rookie defenseman Colton Parayko has five points in his last five games (g, a), including his second game-winning goal of the year in Thursday s win over the Ducks. In just games, the St. Albert, Alberta, native has become only the third defenseman in Blues history to post two game-winning goals in his rookie season ( in Brian Benning , in Erik Johnson 7-8). In addition, he added a single-game Blues rookie record shots on goal, while becoming the first NHL rookie overall to post shots in a game since Alex Ovechkin (Apr. 7, 6). Below is a look at where the 6 6, 6-pound blueliner figures in a few statistical categories Goals (all d-men) Plus/Minus (all d-men) Points (rookie d-men) TOI/Game (all rookies) Parayko, Andrei Markov, + Parayko, 7 Parayko, 9:7 Justin Faulk, P.K. Subban, + Ben Hutton, T. van Riemsdyk, 9: tied, Parayko, +8 Colin Miller, Jack Eichel, 9:6 HEY MAN, NICE SHOT The Blues rank rd overall in shots per game (.9) and in shots allowed per game (5.7). The Blues also lead the NHL in shot attempts differential in 5-on-5 play posting a + (7 for / 6 against) surplus. Individually, Vladimir Tarasenko leads the team and shares the NHL lead overall with 6 shots on goal (Radim Vrbata), while defenseman Alex Pietrangelo () has been on the ice for more team shot attempts (5-on-5) than any other player. DRAWING THE LONG STRAW The Blues rank rd overall with a 5.7% success rate in the faceoff circle this season. For a further breakdown, they are rd in the offensive zone (5.8%), th in the defensive zone (5.%) and th in the neutral zone (5.%). Kyle Brodziak leads the club and ranks 9th overall with a 59.% success rate, a far cry from his 9.5% career average. Last season, the Blues were the second best faceoff team, posting a 5.% success rate that trailed only Boston s 5.6%. From a franchise perspective, it was the best faceoff season on record, and by a wide margin, trumping the next best mark (- and -, 5.9%) by almost %.

10 IMPORTANCE OF A FAST START The Western Conference is demanding. In -5, the conference produced six -point teams for the second consecutive season. What s more, it kept a 95-point Los Angeles Kings club out of the playoff picture just the third time since (start of 8-game slate) that a team that garnered as many points was forced to start vacation early. That being said, a good start to the season is essential. Consider that of the eight playoff teams last season, only Winnipeg (-5-) got off to a sub.5 -game start. As for the others, they combined to go 5--5 in their first outings. On the flip side, the six teams that missed the postseason combined for a -- start a record that is slightly inflated by the aforementioned Kings 6-- mark out-of-the-gate. Best -Game Starts in Blues History -: 8-- -: 7-- -: : 7-- ** other 7-- starts: -, , 99-9 THAT S A WRAP The Blues etched another memorable regular season in -5, in fact, in terms of points, it was tied for the third best mark in franchise history (5--7, 9 pts). The culmination of the season brought the Blues the Central Division Championship, their second division title in the last four years and the ninth in club history overall. Since -, and under the direction of GM Doug Armstrong and Head Coach Ken Hitchcock, the Blues have posted three of the top four regular seasons in franchise history 999- pts - pts -5 9 pts - 9 pts HITCHCOCK IN EXCLUSIVE COMPANY (Reg.
