The St. Louis Blues visit the Pittsburgh Penguins after Jake Neighbours scored two goals in the Blues' 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

The Penguins will need to get used to playing without Rakell. The winger, who scored 35 goals last season to lead the team, is expected to be out for up to eight weeks after surgery on his left hand. Rakell was struck by a puck during Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

As if the St. Louis Blues’ collapse against the rival Detroit Red Wings wasn’t bad enough, the Blues lost star center Robert Thomas to injury early in the third period of the 6-4 defeat on Saturday.

John Kelly, after nearly three decades on St. Louis Blues broadcasts, made his first trip back to St. Louis as an opposing team's broadcaster, now calling games for the Los Angeles Kings.

Hoping a quick return to home ice will help them recapture some momentum, the Red Wings most recently dropped both games of their midweek back-to-back road set – first a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday followed by a 7-2 setback against the New York Islanders on Thursday.

Logan Cooley had a natural hat trick and added an assist — in the first period — in the Utah Mammoth's 7-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.

Keller also scored his 200th goal in the NHL and his 100th point with Utah. That’s the third-fastest anyone has reached 100 points with a new franchise since the 1967 expansion, behind only Mike Rogers and some guy named Wayne Gretzky.
