On the blueline, again we see fairly even numbers across the board with Greg Zanon being one guy who seems to always get the blues against St Louis (sorry).
| GP | G | A | PTS | PPG | vs ALL | +/- | PIM | PP | GW | ATOI | |
| Wilson | 9 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 0.56 | + 0.24 | + 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 18:31 |

| Zanon | 30 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0.07 | - 0.06 | - 6 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 19:26 |
| Barrie | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | - 0.24 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11:44 |
Meanwhile, both J.S. Giguere and Semyon Varlamov have put up great career numbers between the pipes against the Blues.
| GP | W | L | T/O | GAA | SV% | vs ALL | SO | GA | SA | SV | PIM | |
| Giguere | 28 | 15 | 8 | 3 | 2.40 | 0.915 | + 0.002 | 3 | 66 | 780 | 714 | 0 |
| Varlamov | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1.93 | 0.947 | + 0.033 | 0 | 8 | 150 | 142 | 2 |
