The Preds bottomed out a couple of weeks ago but have been on the ascent since. Wins in five of seven, including recent successes at defending champ Panthers and home vs. the mighty Avs on Tuesday, suggest the worst is behind as the offense has certainly shifted gears. Steven Stamkos was recently on the scoresheet in consecutive outings and looks to be very much into the offensive flow as Andrew Brunette suddenly appears to be pushing the right buttons. Meanwhile, just when it looks like the Blues might be ready for a turnaround, they stumble as they did on Tuesday at home vs. Bruins. Jordan Binnington also up-and-down in goal, as his uninspiring season-long stats (3.29 GAA, .875 saves) suggests). Play Preds on Puck Line
