(Sports Network) - Both the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks will be trying to stop season-long losing streaks tonight when they battle at General Motors Place.

The Blues have lost their last five games, getting outscored 27-13 in that span. St. Louis was routed in its last two games, a home-and-home set with Nashville.

The Predators notched a 5-2 win in St. Louis on Saturday before handing the Blues a 6-3 setback at home on Monday.

Brad Boyes, Dan Hinote and Keith Tkachuk tallied for the Blues, who haven't lost six games in a row since an epic 11-game slide from November 25-December 17 of last year.

David Backes had an assist to run his point streak to five games, amassing a goal and five helpers on the run.

St. Louis' loss on Monday came in the opener of a four-game road trip, and the club is 8-10-2 as the road club this year.

Manny Legace allowed five goals on 26 shots in defeat and has struggled as of late. The All-Star is 0-2-1 with a 4.02 goals-against average over his last four starts in a stretch that includes him leaving one game early due to a right arm injury.

Legace is 6-4-1 with a tie in 13 games (12 starts) lifetime versus Vancouver.

Like Legace, Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo has been less than stellar over his last four starts. He is 0-3-1 with a 3.00 GAA in that span, as Vancouver's current four-game losing streak has featured three loses by one goal, including a shootout setback.

The Canucks netminder was also named to the All-Star squad, but will not play in the game, opting instead to spend time with his pregnant wife during the break. He will also miss Vancouver's first game after the All-Star festivities as well.

Luongo made 22 saves in the Canucks' 4-2 defeat against Minnesota on Monday. Alex Burrows and Taylor Pyatt each had a goal for Vancouver.

The Canucks are trying to avoid their first five-game slide since March 5-14, 2006.

Vancouver's last two setbacks have come on a four-game homestand that wraps up after the All-Star break on Tuesday against Dallas. The Canucks are 13-9-2 as the home club this year.

These two clubs have met twice so far this year, splitting a pair of games in St. Louis. While the Canucks have won four of the last six in the series, the Blues have posted a victory in six of the last 10.

However, St. Louis has lost two straight in Vancouver and is 2-7 with two ties in its last 11 trips there.

Luongo is 6-6-0 with a 2.28 GAA in 12 career games against the Blues.
