at Scottrade Center in 2011-12 - the second best home record in the league.

victory at Scottrade Center on December 3. These two clubs have split eight
meetings in St. Louis since the
beginning of 2009-10.
* Patrick Sharp had a goal and a helper vs. Detroit Saturday on his way to
first-star accolades for the Blackhawks. Sharp's marker gave him 25 on the
season - his fifth straight campaign with 25+ goals.
