Blues vs Blackhawks Key Stats
St. Louis have not played well for the majority of the season.They have only managed to score 34 goals in 14 games with less than three goals per game on average this season but they have improved with 11 goals in three games.
They have done poorly on defense this season with 50 goals conceded in 14 games. This has hampered their progress with an increase in the deficit between the number of goals scored and conceded. They will have to work to strengthen their defense to get better returns for the rest of the season.
Chicago have not played well on offense and have averaged over two goals scored per game this season. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have notched up 22 goal contributions but their performances are below average and need a lot of improvement in the upcoming games.
While defending, they have failed to maintain their backline and have conceded 45 goals in 15 games. Their inconsistency has pushed the goaltenders, who have faced over 34 shots per game this season, to work harder. Their efforts have gone in vain even after a save percentage of over 0.900 as they have failed to stop the opposition from scoring.
