The St. Louis Blues are gearing up for a thrilling rematch against the Dallas Stars on January 27, 2026, and the anticipation is palpable! But can they avenge their recent loss?
In a nail-biting encounter last Friday, the Stars snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, scoring with just one minute remaining to secure a 3-2 win over the Blues. Now, the Blues have a chance at redemption on their home ice at Enterprise Center.
Head Coach Jim Montgomery acknowledged the previous game's competitiveness, but also emphasized the need for a stronger finishing mindset, stating, "We need to match their intensity and go out there with a winning mentality."
The lineup sees a strategic adjustment with Robby Fabbri stepping in for Otto Stenberg, who was assigned to the AHL on Monday. Fabbri will be looking to make an impact alongside Dalibor Dvorsky and Mathieu Joseph. This move could be a game-changer, but will it be enough to tip the scales in the Blues' favor?
Here's the projected lineup, subject to last-minute changes:
Forwards:
- Jonatan Berggren, Brayden Schenn, and Jimmy Snuggerud
- Jake Neighbours, Pavel Buchnevich, and Jordan Kyrou
- Fabbri, Dvorsky, and Joseph
- Alexey Toropchenko, Nick Bjugstad, and Nathan Walker
Defense:
- Philip Broberg and Colton Parayko
- Tyler Tucker and Justin Faulk
- Cam Fowler and Logan Mailloux
Goalie: Jordan Binnington, ready to make some spectacular saves.
And there you have it! The stage is set for an exciting showdown. Will the Blues rise to the challenge and turn the tables on their rivals? Or will the Stars prove that their previous victory was no fluke? Share your predictions in the comments below!
