The St. Louis Blues 2025-26 season has been a little odd to start. The Blues had a 6:30 pm start for a game out in Vancouver. Then, they turn around and drop the puck close to 9 pm at home in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The first game of the season against the hated rival got off to an even stranger start. Chicago took the lead at 3:02 when Joel Hofer literally passed it directly to a Blackhawks player who then deposited it into an empty net.
St. Louis tied it less than 90 seconds afterward.
