The Blues will try, try again tomorrow night when hosting Phoenix at Scottrade Center in a 7:00 start. The two teams will be meeting in the third-of-four scheduled meetings this season. The Coyotes have prevailed on both occassions in the first two matchups, winning at home 3-2 in overtime last month before leaving town with a 2-0 shutout victory in the rematch.

New Coyotes coach Dave Tippet guided his team to a win and two losses on a recent three-game homestand. Tonight the Coyotes begin a road trip in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wild. Netminder Ilya Bryzgalov has a save percentage of .921 and is still standing tall in nets for Phoenix.

The Blues will be continuing a six-game homestand that began with a 6-1 win over Vancouver before back-to-back 3-1 losses to Nashville and San Jose. Following tomorrow night's contest the New York Islanders come in on Saturday before the Boston Bruins arrive on the scene for a rare Monday night tussle at Scottrade Center.
