St. Louis Blues v. Nashville Predators (9/26/98) Kemper
Chris Pronger, Grant Fuhr, and Tony Twist were a few of the Blues who played. Nashville had lesser talents like Dominic Roussel, Jeff Nelson, and Scott Walker. The game was far from a sell out at 9,346. It didn’t even match the top attendance figures for the Blades. The Preds were the home team, but St. Louis had the crowd rooting them to a 6-5 win.

Colorado Avalanche v. New York Rangers (10/6/12) Sprint
The Avs and Rangers were to play in KC until the league had a lockout because they hadn’t come to terms with the players’ association on a Collective Bargaining Agreement. So, the hopes of many fans that were anxious to see different teams were dashed.
Dallas Stars v. Blues (9/27/14) Sprint
Dallas beat St. Louis 4-2. This game had a media blitz to promote. Blues d-man Ian Cole and mascot Louie came to KC for a clinic, they hit TV and radio, and did an autograph session at Oak Park Mall. Sprint Center held a free open skate for anyone who’d purchased a game ticket. This was probably the most publicized of preseason games, but I haven’t been able to find attendance figures.
