A visit to the Anaheim Ducks isn't the ideal situation for the St. Louis Blues as they try to avoid their longest losing streak in nearly two years.
That's because St. Louis heads into Friday night's matchup with nine straight defeats in Anaheim and two wins in its last 22 there.
The Blues (23-14-6) are also coming off back-to-back games in which they blew big leads, both part of a four-game slide that's their longest since dropping the final six games of the 2013-14 season.
St. Louis allowed three unanswered goals in a 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa on Monday before opening a three-game trip Wednesday against Colorado, again wasting a two-goal lead and giving up three straight scores in a 4-3 defeat in overtime.
