Last 10 matches: St Louis 5-3-2; Columbus 4-4-2
St Louis defenseman Eric Brewer is questionable with a bruised back, while forward D.J. King is on injured reserve after surgery on his right hand last month.

Columbus is close to getting forward Andrew Murray back from a triceps tear that has sidelined him for over a month. Forward Derek Dorsett remains out with a concussion and forward Fredrik Modin has yet to play this season and is on injured reserve after knee surgery. Four teams made the Stanley Cup Playoffs out of the Central Division last season, and it is shaping up to be ultra-competitive once again. Columbus currently sits in a three-way tie for ninth in the Western Conference with Vancouver and Detroit, one point out of a playoff berth, while St. Louis is in 12th, four points back. Even on the last day of November, this shapes up as a critical game with a potential four-point swing.
Backes has goals in three straight for the Blues, to go with a pair of assists and a plus-6 rating during that span. Boyes has goals in two straight and a four-game points streak. … Huselius has points in seven of the last eight for the Blue Jackets, registering five goals and six assists during that span.
St Louis had won all 10 games this season prior to Saturday night when scoring three or more goals. Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon.. stay tuned.
