Blues Prepare to Face Skidding Predators

St. Louis meets Nashville on Oct. 17; the Predators are 2-2-3 and looking to snap a three-game skid. McTavish carries a five-game point streak and leads the Blues with eight points, while Nashville’s power play is a matchup threat. Buchnevich is away for the birth of his child, Hofer is expected to start on the road trip, and Carlo is expected to reach 700 NHL games.
