The Anaheim Ducks (15-9-1), clinging to fourth place in the Pacific Division after a disappointing 5-3 road loss to Chicago on Nov. 30 that extended their road skid to four games, visit the St. Louis Blues (9-10-7) on Monday night. This Western Conference matchup at Enterprise Center contrasts Anaheim’s explosive offense—third in the NHL at 3.6 goals per game—against St. Louis’ opportunistic defense, bolstered by a recent 1-0 shutout win over Utah. The Ducks, under Joel Quenneville’s structured system, boast young stars like Cutter Gauthier but face a Blues squad hungry to leverage their 10-game winning streak against Anaheim dating back to 2022. With the Ducks allowing 3.3 goals per game (21st) and the Blues struggling offensively (18th at 2.6 GPG), expect a high-event clash where special teams could swing it—Anaheim’s 20th-ranked power play (20.0%) vs. St. Louis’ 11th-ranked penalty kill (82.1%). Faceoff is at 8:00 p.m. ET, broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network West (FDSNW) and FanDuel Sports Network Midwest (FDSNMW).

Injury Report
Both teams enter with minimal absences, allowing full lineups for this key divisional test. Anaheim’s health has fueled their offensive surge, while St. Louis benefits from recent returns. Latest updates as of game day (check NHL.com for changes):
Anaheim Ducks:
| Player | Position | Injury | Status | Expected Return |
| No injuries listed | – | – | All available | N/A |
Impact: Full strength enables Quenneville’s aggressive forecheck, with Gauthier (15G-15A) and Carlsson driving play. Goaltending tandem of Lukas Dostal (.904 SV%, 2.81 GAA) and Petr Mrazek remains intact, though Mrazek’s recent exit vs. Chicago was precautionary.
St. Louis Blues:
| Player | Position | Injury | Status | Expected Return |
| No injuries listed | – | – | All available | N/A |
Impact: Clean bill supports Jim Montgomery’s balanced rotations, with Robert Thomas (team-high assists) and Jordan Kyrou (goals leader) at full tilt. Goaltender Joel Hofer’s strong form (recent shutout) bolsters a defense that’s 11th in GA at 2.82.
Player Matchups
Anaheim’s speed (8th in shots at 30.4 per game) tests St. Louis’ structure (11th in Corsi at 50.8%), but the Blues’ physicality (14th in hits) could disrupt transitions. Key battles:
C: Leo Carlsson (ANA) vs. Robert Thomas (STL)
Carlsson (6’0″, 12G-10A, rookie sensation) vs. Thomas (6’0″, 8G-15A, playmaker). Carlsson’s finishing (15% shooting) exploits Thomas’ defensive lapses (opponents 1.2 GPG vs. STL centers); Blues win 52% faceoffs. Edge: Ducks.
LW: Frank Vatrano (ANA) vs. Brandon Saad (STL)
Vatrano (5’11”, 11G, sniper) vs. Saad (6’1″, 7G-9A). Vatrano’s wrist shot torches Saad’s positioning (STL allows 1.8 rush goals, 20th); Ducks’ PP thrives on his net-front presence. Edge: Ducks.
RW: Cutter Gauthier (ANA) vs. Jordan Kyrou (STL)
Gauthier (6’2″, 15G-15A, 30 PTS in 25GP) vs. Kyrou (6’0″, 12G, speedster). Gauthier’s two-way game (plus-8) shadows Kyrou’s bursts; Blues’ PK limits wingers to 0.9 GPG. Edge: Even.
D: Jackson LaCombe (ANA) vs. Colton Parayko (STL)
LaCombe (6’2″, 11G-22A, +8) vs. Parayko (6’6″, shutdown vet). LaCombe’s mobility (3 assists last game) challenges Parayko’s size; Ducks out-chance opponents 51% with him on ice. Edge: Ducks.
G: Lukas Dostal (ANA) vs. Jordan Binnington (STL)
Dostal (6’2″, .904 SV%, 10 GSA above average) vs. Binnington (6’1″, .915 SV%, recent shutout). Dostal’s elite positioning faces STL’s 28.4 SOG; Binnington’s rebound control limits second chances. Edge: Blues.
Bench Impact: Anaheim’s depth (Gauthier line: 30 PTS) edges St. Louis’ (Saad’s 16 PTS), in a high-pace tilt (Ducks 9th at 100.4 possessions).
