This season, it seems like the Tampa Bay Lightning and the St. Louis Blues are the two teams to beat. They both have 44 points, they both sit atop their divisions, and they both have one of the best lines in hockey.
Or, well, the Blues did until Jaden Schwartz got pegged in the ankle while blocking a shot on Saturday. As an added bonus, the team placed captain Alex Pietrangelo on the IR as well, and has recalled Jordan Schmaltz from the San Antonio Rampage.
The Bolts already bested the Blues on October 14th at the start of the young season, but only by a goal.
