The Anaheim Ducks arrived in St. Louis having lost the last five games at home in some fashion. A daunting road trip greeted them and it all started against the St. Louis Blues, who are coming off their first championship. Nevertheless, Anaheim had won its last three games at Enterprise Center and needed another quite badly. Devin Shore finally made an appearance in the lineup while Ondrej Kase was scratched. Michael Del Zotto slotted in for Jacob Larsson while John Gibson would return to the net.
