Blues' success against Ducks has come only at home of late
The St. Louis Blues have enjoyed a decided advantage at home over the Anaheim Ducks over their last nine games at Scottrade Center, where the teams meet tonight for the 10th time since 2010-11.
The Blues haven't won in Anaheim at all during that stretch, but they are 6-3-1 against the Ducks in St. Louis, including a 2-1 win in October.
