The Blues will have to lean on the second-half success that launched them from last in the Western Conference to sixth place despite injuries to stars Paul Kariya, Eric Brewer and Erik Johnson. They finished the regular season 9-1-1 to qualify with one game to go before running into Roberto Luongo.

Kariya could return for a must-win game two days after coaches decided following his first full workout with the team that he needed more time.

Mats Sundin's groin injury isn't much better and his status for the Canucks will probably be determined at the morning skate today.

The Blues are 1-for-17 on the power play in the series. They've totaled three goals overall while getting stymied by Luongo and a pesky penalty-kill unit. Get all your NHL hockey odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
