Blues at Flyers
The St. Louis Blues seek their season high-tying fourth consecutive victory when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. Each of the triumphs during St. Louis' three-game streak have been by one goal, including Saturday's 3-2 victory over visiting Calgary.
The Blues posted four straight victories from Oct. 13-18, scoring four goals in each triumph.
