The St. Louis Blues entered Monday night’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins aiming to demonstrate resilience after an embarrassing collapse against the Detroit Red Wings in their previous outing. Unfortunately, that test didn’t go as planned.
Trailing by a goal entering the third period, the Blues once again unraveled. It wasn’t exactly a carbon copy of the Detroit mishap, but it may have been worse in some aspects.
In that previous matchup, the Blues held a commanding 4–0 lead over the Red Wings before surrendering six unanswered goals — turning what looked like a certain victory into a stunning defeat.
