The St. Louis Blues upgraded their roster this offseason, with an emphasis on fixing what went wrong last season. For 2025-26, the expectation is that they will go even further beyond what they accomplished a year ago, and that this team is trending in the direction of claiming the sport's ultimate prize.
Before we get that far, there is one area of the game that the Blues have been considerably lacking over the last couple of seasons. It is an important stat that dictates winners and losers of the hockey game.
The Blues have been outside of the top-10, even outside of the top-20 in this category, since the 2021-22 season, in which they finished the season with the third-most in the NHL.
