Amid the 82 regular-season games and the six playoff games the Blues played in the 2014-15 season, there’s one that stands out to general manager Doug Armstrong as an example of how well the team can play and proof that the current personnel can do it.
On Feb. 12, the Blues traveled to Florida and beat Tampa Bay 6-3. It was the team’s ninth game in 15 days and came on the road against one of the top teams in the East, but the Blues controlled the game from the start, playing with energy and vigor and even a bit of daring and then held off a comeback by the Lightning in the third period.
