The St. Louis Blues were unable to get the upper hand on the Boston Bruins, losing 5-2 on Wednesday night. Stop me where you heard that before, as it was the same kind of defeat as last week.
Trying to get a different outcome, head coach Jim Montgomery went with backup goaltender Joel Hofer this time around, to no avail. But, there is no denying that the last four games have shown a significant improvement for No. 30 in net.
Should Hofer be considered untouchable?
This season has seen 30 games of underwhelming hockey, but the Blues still remain just two points out of the second wild card spot.
