BLUES (5-6-3) at THRASHERS (6-6-1)

Last 10: St. Louis 3-4-3; Atlanta 4-5-1

Season series: These teams meet for the second and final time this season. Atlanta paid a visit to the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Oct. 8 and left with a 4-2 victory as part of its 4-1-0 start. Ilya Kovalchuk scored a power-play goal and an empty-netter to back up the 29-save performance of Ondrej Pavelec. The Blues received a goal and an assist from Keith Tkachuk.

Big story: Since Kovalchuk went down with a broken foot that will keep him out for several more weeks, the Thrashers have gradually come back down to earth. Their 6-3 loss Saturday night on Long Island was their sixth in eight games since the fast start. The Blues have struggled to find any sort of consistency after starting the season overseas, going 3-6-3 since a two-game sweep of Detroit in Stockholm. Live score and results will be available soon..
