The St. Louis Blues may be a better team in 2025-26, but most of the Central Division had collectively gotten better, and that's bad news.
After a disastrous opening game against the Minnesota Wild, the St. Louis Blues have since gotten their act together. The problem? So has the rest of the Central Division, and there is a good chance six teams could be battling for a top-three spot.
The Blues are one of them, and if they can't win the division, take second, or third place, they can always be a wild card team.
