What will the Pavel Buchnevich - Robert Thomas - Vladimir Tarasenko line do tonight in Arizona?
Arguably the greatest show on ice right now, the trio has combined for 76 points (yes, 76 points!) in 15 games since March 26.

Robert Thomas is on the longest active point streak in the League at 15 games, netting eight goals and 19 assists (27 points) in that time frame. Linemate Pavel Buchnevich has the second-longest active streak in the League at 12 games, netting 10 goals and 15 assists (25 points) in that stretch. Finally, Vladimir Tarasenko is on an eight-game point streak, netting 12 goals and 12 assists (24 points).
As that line has gone, so have the Blues - who will be looking to extend their franchise-best team point streak to 15 games (12-0-2).
Jordan Binnington will make his second consecutive start between the pipes on Saturday. In his last four outings, Binnington is 4-0 with a 1.75 goals-against average and a .944 save-percentage.
"He hasn't (had consecutive starts) in awhile," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. "It's an opportunity to get him in there back-to-back. Just going down the stretch here, I don't want the one goalie not playing for a certain amount of time. So it works out that way for us tonight."
Torey Krug (upper-body) and Tyler Bozak (lower-body) will both remain out with injuries. Berube did not rule Alexey Toropchenko (lower-body) out for Saturday, saying he could be available.
Below is a projected lineup for the matchup with the Coyotes, when Schenn out due to an upper-body injury. The puck drops at 9 p.m. CT.
