The St. Louis Blues are set to host the Minnesota Wild in their home opener after a successful three-game road trip, where they secured two wins. The Blues made significant offseason moves, acquiring defenseman Philip Broberg and center Dylan Holloway from the Edmonton Oilers, enhancing their roster with these new additions.

Former Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, who recently signed a one-year contract with the Blues after being bought out by Dallas, will be a key player to watch. The Wild are dealing with injuries, with Joel Eriksson Ek expected to return while Jared Spurgeon remains day-to-day.
