St. Louis Blues Player To Watch vs. San Jose Sharks: Pavel Buchnevich

ST. LOUIS -- Pavel Buchnevich has one of his sidekicks back, he's back on the wing and he does well against the San Jose Sharks.

It all adds up as the St. Louis Blues player to watch tonight against the Sharks as the Blues try to win for just the second time in the past eight games (1-5-1).

Having Robert Thomas back at center and with Jordan Kyrou on the other wing, that trio played well in a 4-2 loss against the Minnesota Wild to Tuesday.

The Blues really need Buchnevich to score; he has just five goals in 20 games this season but he has 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) against the Sharks, including a goal in a 5-4 come-from-behind overtime win in San Jose on Oct. 10.
