The St. Louis Blues have struggled to open the 2025-26 season. While it's been a varied amount of things, poor starts have been to blame in plenty of bad games.
That was the case in this game as the Blues allowed not one, but two goals in the first 60 seconds of the game. The first goal came just 39 seconds in when the Blues failed to get the puck out of the zone. Everyone shifted as the puck went left, which left Bryan Rust open on the right circle, and he snapped a wrister high to the glove side.
