Season series: The St. Louis Blues went 2-0-1 against the Calgary Flames in 2013-14 thanks in part to the efforts of Vladimir Tarasenko, who had points in each game and finished the season series with two goals and two assists. The Flames have lost their past four trips to Scottrade Center.

Flames team scope: Calgary will try to make it two straight on the road after dropping their season-opener 4-2 to the Vancouver Canucks at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday. The Flames rebounded from the loss to earn a 5-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, with Mason Raymond contributing a hat trick. "Of course it is nice to contribute and be a part of the win," Raymond said. "But those two points were huge for us. It got us in the win column and trending in the right direction. Those two points are huge for us heading out on the road, especially after losing our first game at home." The road doesn't get any easier for Calgary, which has four more stops before returning home on Oct. 21.

Blues team scope: The Blues dropped their season opener when they lost 3-2 at home to the New York Rangers on Thursday. St. Louis never led, but the loss was the result of a bit of bad luck. Rick Nash's game-winner came after Alex Pietrangelo's clearing attempt hit a stanchion and fell to Martin St. Louis, who fed Nash for the winning goal with 1:50 remaining. "Tough way to lose a game," coach Ken Hitchcock said. Newcomer Paul Stastny scored a goal in his Blues debut but didn't practice Friday after sustaining a quad contusion against the Rangers. Hitchcock said he expects Stastny and forward Patrik Berglund (upper body), who also didn't practice, to be able to play Saturday, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The Blues head to the West Coast for their next three games.
