The St. Louis Blues began another season of hockey with their first game of the 2025-26 season. At least there will be a box score that shows a game was played. That is one thing you can take away from this game.
The Blues faced the Minnesota Wild in what should have been a raucous arena, overflowing with electricity so thick you could cut it with a knife. Instead, it turned out to be a dud all around.
The first period was pretty even between the two teams. The shots finished 8-7 in favor of the Blues.
