Blues lacking something in 5-3 loss to Columbus
Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images | Jeff Curry-Imagn ImagesThe St. Louis Blues gave us a little confidence with some healthy bodies and a last-second win over the Florida Panthers. With the Columbus Blue Jackets riding high on a coaching-change run, it was impossible to know what to expect.
The Blues got off to a good start. They had an early six shots compared to only two or three for the Blue Jackets. The Blues' main problem was that they weren't shooting high enough against a goalie who is more susceptible to high shots.
The Blues did get the first goal of the game. They sprang Jimmy Snuggerud on a break, and he left little doubt to make it 1-0, 7:11 into the period.
