ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Blues will meet the Chicago Blackhawks tonight at 7:30 p.m. at United Center.

It's preseason, but nonetheless, it will be the first time the bitter division rivals have met since the Blues eliminated the Blackhawks from the Stanley Cup Playoffs in seven games last April.

The Blues are 3-1 in the preseason with two wins against the Columbus Blue Jackets and another against the Dallas Stars. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are 0-2 after suffering consecutive shutout losses to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
