(SportsNetwork. Mason Rudolph Womens Jersey .com) - The St. Louis Blues were able to halt their longest losing streak of the season the last time out, and they hope to follow it up with a victory in a key divisional matchup. The Blues try to forge a tie for second place in the Central Division on Tuesday when they visit the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville enters this showdown three points behind Chicago for the top spot and two points ahead of St. Louis. St. Louis snapped a four-game skid with Mondays 3-0 victory over the visiting Colorado Avalanche. Martin Brodeur posted his first shutout as a member of the Blues with a 16-save effort and extended his all-time NHL record. Brodeur, who spent his first 21 seasons with the New Jersey Devils, has tallied the most shutouts in NHL history with 125. I think hes gotten more comfortable here, Butler said of Brodeur. I think tonight was an awesome performance by him. Dmitrij Jaskin, Chris Butler and Vladimir Tarasenko all scored for the Blues, who hadnt lost more than two in a row this season before the recent 0-3-1 slide. Although Brodeur turned in one of his best efforts in a Blues sweater last night, St. Louis would love to welcome No. 1 goaltender Brian Elliott back to the crease on Tuesday. Elliott has been sidelined since Nov. 25 with a lower-body injury, but he returned to practice on Sunday, when head coach Ken Hitchcock said he hoped the goalie would be ready here in the next couple of days. While theres a chance Elliott could return tonight, if he is unable to go then rookie Jake Allen will likely get the call. The Blues lost forward Chris Porter to a leg injury in the second period of Mondays game and he did not return. He is questionable for tonight. St. Louis, which is beginning a four-game road trip tonight, is 9-7-2 as the away team this season. Nashville lost for the second time in three games on Monday when it dropped a 5-4 shootout decision in Chicago despite holding a 3-0 lead over the Blackhawks at one point. After coming back from a three-goal deficit in the second period, the Blackhawks needed another tying goal with less than two minutes left in regulation. Bryan Bickell delivered the marker with the goalie pulled and 1:13 left on the clock to make it a 4-4 game. Jonathan Toews scored the lone goal of the shootout to deliver the victory for the Blackhawks. James Neal scored a pair of goals for Nashville. Roman Josi and Craig Smith potted the other two Predators goals and Pekka Rinne allowed four goals on 42 shots. I thought we had a great start, and I thought we played strong throughout, said Neal. We ran into a little penalty trouble, and theyve got a great power play. Nashville hopes to bounce back tonight on home ice, where it boasts a 13-2-1 record this season. The Predators entered 2013-14 having lost six straight in the series against the Blues, but Nashville has taken two of three from St. Louis this season. The clubs last met on Dec. 4 in Music City when the Preds downed the Blues, 4-3, in regulation. Rinne made 29 saves for the win, while Mike Ribeiro recorded a goal and two assists.

The 30-year-old Diaz, who has long marched to his own drummer, has not fought since March 2013 when he lost to then-welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at UFC 158 in Montreal. He had announced his retirement 13 months before after losing to Carlos (The Natural Born Killer) Condit but returned to face GSP for the title. Diaz (27-9-1) then dropped out of the spotlight although his name kept resurfacing, usually with UFC president Dana White saying that Diaz had refused another bout. "They were offering me fights and I wasnt really interested in the fights that they were talking about for pretty much the last year," Diaz told a media conference call Wednesday. "I was looking pretty much for the biggest fight I could get myself into. Just like always." Mission accomplished. A Jan. 31 date with former middleweight title-holder Anderson Silva at UFC 183 — the UFCs marquee Super Bowl card — along with a new contract extension proved to be enough to bring the rebel fighter from Stockton, Calif., back into the UFC fold. The 39-year-old Silva has not fought since suffering a horrific leg injury in a loss to middleweight champion Chris Weidman last December at UFC 168. The return of Diaz and Silva gives the UFC two more marquee names sorely needed due to injuries and the proliferation of fight cards. The pay-per-view show originally slated for December in Montreal, for example, may be pushed back to March — likely due to lack of a suitable main event. Diaz is a polarizing figure, an accomplished Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with prickly boxing skills who fights with a sneer on his face — usually while talking trash to his opponent. No lover of media commitments, his refusal to play by the rules was demonstrated when he failed to show up for a Toronto news conference when he was originally scheduled to meet St-Pierre. The UFC promptly pulled him from the title bout. Still his "I dont give a damn" attitude has won him plenty of fans. Diazs time away from the sport after the Condit loss was also enforced after he was suspended a year for a positive marijuana test (he was also banned for the same reason following a 2007 Pride fight). Diaz told the Nevada State Athletic Commission after the most recent failed drug test that he had been prescribed a medial marijuana card to help deal with his ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Younger brother Nate is equally abrasive with a signature win that included flexing his muscles and displaying two middle fingers while opponent Kurt Pellegrino was locked iin a triangle choke.

"I spent the last what, almost 16 years with some sort of tournament, competition or an MMA fight," he said. "Its been a real experience." Diaz said it seems like he has always had a fight looming, be it in real life growing up or the UFC. "After 37 fights, what 16 years, being extra-serious, thatll do something to somebody," he said. "Its pretty rough. I dont recommend anybody to be a fighter. Fighting is not something I enjoy doing. Its something I do that I feel I have to do and thats just the way it is." "I dont like to hurt anybody," he added. "Im a non-violent person." The six-foot Diaz has fought at both welterweight (170 pounds) and middleweight (185). He says he walks around at close to 200 pounds and that making 170 has been "pretty rough" in the past. He said he had never really quit the sport, saying you never retire from martial arts. He just wasnt going to take a fight he wasnt happy with. "I just pretty much needed some time off regardless and you dont really get time off in the UFC without returning sometimes or getting hurt. I guess I dont break easy, like some of these guys." Asked about his new contract extension, he said: "I cant complain. I cant ask for anything more. Im happy with the deal that I made." "Its hard out there," he added. "Especially when the rest of these guys arent getting paid what they should be getting paid. And they sit around and they cant open their mouth about anything for the most part when it comes to what they do." Diaz said hes willing to speak out, where others arent. "Its a really complicated road if youre an MMA fighter," he added. Diaz demonstrated that when asked if he was excited to fight a legend like Silva. "I dont use that word (excited) in this sport," he said. "I use that word like maybe if Im starving and foods showing up. Or Im excited to have a couple of days off." Asked again if he would enjoy getting in the cage with Silva, he was definite. "Definitely not. Would you enjoy fighting Anderson Silva?" Asked what he expects from Silva given his injury layoff, Diaz was noncommittal. "You never know what youre going to get. Life is like a box of chocolates," he replied, referencing the film "Forrest Gump." Diaz said he was taking his career "day by day, fight by fight." "I dont need much. I can survive without fighting. The thing is I just want to do the best I can, like everybody else."
